Thomas Hardy (Томас Гарди (Харди)) Side by Side So there sat they, The estranged two, Thrust in one pew By chance that day; Placed so, breath-nigh, Each comer unwitting Who was to be sitting In touch close by. Thus side by side Blindly alighted, They seemed united As groom and bride, Who’d not communed For many years – Lives from twain spheres With hearts distuned. Her fringes brushed His garment’s hem As the harmonies rushed Through each of them: Her lips could be heard In the creed and psalms, And their fingers neared At the giving of alms. And women and men, The matins ended, By looks commended Them, joined again. Quickly said she, ‘Don’t undeceive them – Better thus leave them:’ ‘Quite so,’ said he. Slight words! – the last Between them said, Those two, once wed, Who had not stood fast. Diverse their ways From the western door, To meet no more In their span of days.
