Thomas Hardy (Томас Гарди (Харди))


There Seemed a Strangeness


     A Phantasy

There seemed a strangeness in the air,
Vermilion light on the land’s lean face;
I heard a Voice from I knew not where: –
‘The Great Adjustment is taking place!

‘I set thick darkness over you,
And fogged you all your years therein;
At last I uncloud your view,
Which I am weary of holding in.

‘Men have not heard, men have not seen
Since the beginning of the world
What earth and heaven mean;
But now their curtains shall be furled,

‘And they shall see what is, ere long,
Not through a glass, but face to face;
And Right shall disestablish Wrong:
The Great Adjustment is taking place.’



Thomas Hardy's other poems:
  1. The Month’s Calendar
  2. The Fight on Durnover Moor
  3. Expectation and Experience
  4. To an Impersonator of Rosalind
  5. The Market-Girl
