Hardy

Famous quotes containing the word hardy:

    Poetry is emotion put into measure. The emotion must come by nature, but the measure can be acquired by art.

    A sparrow enters the tree,
    Whereon immediately
    A snow lump thrice his own slight size
    Descends on him and showers his head and eyes,
    And overturns him,
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    If all hearts were open and all desires known—as they would be if people showed their souls—how many gapings, sighings, clenched fists, knotted brows, broad grins, and red eyes should we see in the market-place!
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
