“I am the family face;
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.”
—Thomas Hardy (18401928)
“And such are we
Unreasoning, sanguine, visionary
That I can hope
Health, love, friends, scope
In full for thee; can dream thoult find
Joys seldom yet attained by humankind!”
—Thomas Hardy (18401928)
