And meadow rivulets overflow, And drops on gate ba · Thomas Hardy

Ah, no; the years, the years; Down their chiseled

And meadow rivulets overflow, And drops on gate bars hang in a row, And rooks in families homeward go,

Animals and Nature Seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)

Thomas Hardy

1840-06-02 — 1928-01-11 · Dorchester

Thomas Hardy was a significant English novelist and poet, associated with the Naturalism literary movement. Though initially trained as an architect, his literary career spanned over four decades, producing novels like "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" and "Far from the Madding Crowd" that critically examined rural life, social constraints, and the harsh realities of fate. Later in life, he turned increasingly to poetry, which explored similar themes of loss, disillusionment, and the passage of time with a distinctive blend of modernism and traditional form.
