They are not those who used to feed us
When we were young–they cannot be –
These shapes that now bereave and bleed us?
They are not those who used to feed us, –
For would they not fair terms concede us?
– If hearts can house such treachery
They are not those who used to feed us
When we were young–they cannot be!
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.
