I don’t think I have ever read that poem! Any Hardy poetry I read was long ago as an undergraduate (so much emphasis on his prose in those courses). But no doubt I appreciate it much more now than I would have then!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
(PS we have the gift of our first grandchild this year—just a couple of weeks old!)
Gorgeous! Thanks Sarah. Have a lovely Christmas 💛

One of my favourite Hardy poems. Thank you.
Thank you Sarah - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too. 🎄
