SO, TIME (THE SAME THOUGHT RESUMED), by THOMAS HARDY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: So, time Last Line: Afar, yet close to us. | |||
So, Time, Royal, sublime; Heretofore held to be Master and enemy, Thief of my Love's adornings, Despoiling her to scornings: -- The sound philosopher Now sets him to aver You are nought But a thought Without reality. Young, old Passioned, cold, All the loved-lost thus Are beings continuous, In dateless dure abiding, Over the present striding With placid permanence That knows not transience: Firm in the Vast, First, last; Afar, yet close to us. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEN WHO MARCH AWAY' (SONG OF THE SOLDIERS) by THOMAS HARDY A BROKEN APPOINTMENT by THOMAS HARDY A CHRISTMAS GHOST-STORY; CHRISTMAS-EVE 1899 by THOMAS HARDY A THOUGHT IN TWO MOODS by THOMAS HARDY A THUNDERSTORM IN TOWN by THOMAS HARDY A TRAMPWOMAN'S TRAGEDY by THOMAS HARDY A WIFE IN LONDON by THOMAS HARDY ACCORDING TO THE MIGHTY WORKING by THOMAS HARDY |
