July 6, 2023How Great My Grief
How great my grief, my joys how few,
Since first it was my fate to know thee!
– Have the slow years not brought to view
How great my grief, my joys how few,
Nor memory shaped old times anew,
Nor loving-kindness helped to show thee
How great my grief, my joys how few,
Since first it was my fate to know thee?
Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English novelist and poet. His novels, including "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" and "Jude the Obscure," were known for their depictions of rural life and the struggles of ordinary people. His poetry often explored similar themes and had a strong sense of place.
