Strange difference of sex, that time and circumsta

As you got older, and felt yourself to be at the centre of your time, and not at a point in its circumference, as you felt when you were little, you were seized with a sort of shuddering.

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.
