Let me enjoy the earth no less because the all-enacting light that fashioned forth its loveliness had other aims than my delight.
Thomas Hardy
Image

My wicked heart will ramble on in spite of myself. (Arabella)
Thomas Hardy

Always wanting another man than your own.
Thomas Hardy

Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. Teach me to die.
Thomas Hardy
Image
There are accents in the eye which are not on the tongue, and more tales come from pale lips than can enter an ear. It is both the grandeur and the pain of the remoter moods that they avoid the pathway of sound.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Once let a maiden admit the possibility of her being stricken with love for some one at a certain hour and place, and the thing is as good as done.
Thomas Hardy
Image
That aspects are within us and who seems Most kingly is the King.
Thomas Hardy
Image
Silence has sometimes a remarkable power of showing itself as the disembodied soul of feeling wandering without its carcase, and it is then more impressive than speech.
Thomas Hardy
Image
That cold accretion called the world, so terrible in the mass, is so non formidable, even pitiable, in its units.
Thomas Hardy
Image
you are absolutely the most ethereal, least sensual woman I ever knew to exist without inhuman sexlessness.
Thomas Hardy

This hobble of being alive is rather serious, don’t you think so?
Thomas Hardy
