Ha! Just catching this. Gail, what a great and sad poem. It's true there's a lot of Eeyore in Hardy, though his poetry is bright enough to make it still worth reading. His novels are beautifully written, but reading one can be like watching a puppy get run over by an 18-wheeler, and then hearing the truck slide into reverse.
