A Modern Lover

I recently read "A Modern Lover" by D. H. Lawrence. Twice. This short story was first published in 1933 three years after Lawrence's death but probably written in 1909, evidently a minor work. Is there anything about this story I can recommend? People read so few short stories nowadays why even mention one unless it's a perfect 10?I'm now reading one or two short stories a day. I admit, most of them are science fiction, but I've changed my time machines coordinates from the future to the past because I've become fascinated by the history of short stories. This once popular art form is in decline, like opera and poetry. If you ask the average person to name the ten famous short stories I doubt you'd get many answers.
