Thomas Hardy citáty

Thomas Hardy byl anglický spisovatel - romanopisec, autor povídek a básník. Původním povoláním byl architekt. Jeho díla mají naturalistický charakter. Ve svých dílech, na rozdíl od Charlese Dickense, volí prostředí venkova. V mnoha románech podává kritiku anglické společnosti, která je k nemajetným lidem velmi krutá. Jeho romány jsou smutné a často končí tragicky, postavy podléhají v zápase nejen s přírodními silami, ale i nespravedlivostí společnosti. Wikipedia

“I seem but a dead man held on end
To sink down soon…. O you could not know
That such swift fleeing
No soul foreseeing —
Not even I — would undo me so!”

“Only a man harrowing clods
In a slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Half asleep as they stalk.”

" In Time of 'The Breaking Of Nations'" http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/hardy/poems/breaking.html (1915), lines 1-12, from Moments of Vision (1917); the title is derived from lines of Jeremiah 51:20: "Thou art my battle ax and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations."
Kontext: p>Only a man harrowing clods
In a slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Half asleep as they stalk.Only thin smoke without flame
From the heaps of couch-grass;
Yet this will go onward the same
Though Dynasties pass.Yonder a maid and her wight
Come whispering by:
War's annals will cloud into night
Ere their story die.</p

“A lover without indiscretion is no lover at all. Circumspection and devotion are a contradiction in terms.”
