WEATHERS This is the weather the cuckoo likes, And so do I; When showers betumble the chestnut spikes, And nestlings fly; And the little brown nightingale bills his best, And they sit outside at 'The Traveller's Rest,' And maids come forth sprig-muslin drest, And citizens dream of the south and west, And so do I. This is the weather the shepherd shuns, And so do I; When beeches drip in browns and duns, And thresh and ply; And hill-hid tides throb, throe on throe, And meadow rivulets overflow, And drops on gate bars han

If an offense come out of the truth, better is it that the offense come than that the truth be concealed.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Many...have learned that the m...

Many...have learned that the magnitude of lives is not as to their external displacements, but as to their subjective experiences. The impressionable peasant leads a larger, fuller, more dramatic life than the pachydermatous king.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

The beauty or ugliness of a ch...

The beauty or ugliness of a character lay not only in its achievements, but in its aims and impulses; its true history lay, not among things done, but among things willed.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Well, what I mean is that I shouldn't mind being a bride at a wedding, if I could be one without having a husband.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Men thin away to insignificanc...

Men thin away to insignificance and oblivion quite as often by not making the most of good spirits when they have them as by lacking good spirits when they are indispensable.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

You are Joseph the dreamer of ...

You are Joseph the dreamer of dreams, dear Jude. And a tragic Don Quixote. And sometimes you are St. Stephen, who, while they were stoning him, could see Heaven opened. Oh, my poor friend and comrade, you'll suffer yet!

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

She was of the stuff of which ...

She was of the stuff of which great men's mothers are made. She was indispensable to high generation, hated at tea parties, feared in shops, and loved at crises.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

...Nameless, unknown to me as ...

...Nameless, unknown to me as you were, I couldn't forget your voice!' 'For how long?' 'O - ever so long. Days and days.' 'Days and days! Only days and days? O, the heart of a man! Days and days!' 'But, my dear madam, I had not known you more than a day or two. It was not a full-blown love - it was the merest bud - red, fresh, vivid, but small. It was a colossal passion in embryo. It never returned.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

When women are secret they are...

When women are secret they are secret indeed; and more often then not they only begin to be secret with the advent of a second lover.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Of love it may be said, the le...

Of love it may be said, the less earthly the less demonstrative. In its absolutely indestructible form it reaches a profundity in which all exhibition of itself is painful.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

It may have been observed that...

It may have been observed that there is no regular path for getting out of love as there is for getting in. Some people look upon marriage as a short cut that way, but it has been known to fail.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Silence has sometimes a remark...

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 231 quotes

Did it never strike your mind ...

Did it never strike your mind that what every woman says, some women may feel?

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Let truth be told - women do a...

Let truth be told - women do as a rule live through such humiliations, and regain their spirits, and again look about them with an interested eye. While there's life there's hope is a connviction not so entirely unknown to the 'betrayed' as some amiable theorists would have us believe.

I wish I had never been born--there or anywhere else.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

George's son had done his work...

George's son had done his work so thoroughly that he was considered too good a workman to live, and was, in fact, taken and tragically shot at twelve o'clock that same dayЂ'another instance of the untoward fate which so often attends dogs and other philosophers who follow out a train of reasoning to its logical conclusion, and attempt perfectly consistent conduct in a world made up so largely of compromise.

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

It is rarely that the pleasures of the imagination will compensate for the pain of sleeplessness,

Thomas Hardy 231 quotes

Many of her thoughts were perf...

Many of her thoughts were perfect syllogisms; unluckily they always remained thoughts. Only a few were irrational assumptions; but, unfortunately, they were the ones which most frequently grew into deeds

So do flux and reflux--the rhythm of change--alternate and persist in everything under the sky.
