I am the family face; flesh perishes, I live on.
More Quotes from Thomas Hardy:
How much I love I know not, life not known,Save as some unit I would add love by;
But this I know, my being is but thine own--
Fused from its separateness by ecstasy.
Thomas Hardy
Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock. 'Now they are all on their knees,' An elder said as we sat in a flock By the embers in hearth-side ease. We pictured the meek mild creatures where They dwelt in their strawy pen, Nor did it occur to one of us there To doubt they were kneeling then. So fair a fancy few would weave In these years yet, I feel If someone said on Christmas Eve, 'Come see the oxen kneel, In the lonely barton by yonder coomb Our childhood used to know,' I should go with him in the gloom, Hoping it might be so.
Thomas Hardy

So let it be, I said to Love.
Thomas Hardy
Pessimism is, in brief, playing the sure game. You cannot lose at it you may gain. It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed. Having reckoned what to do in the worst possible circumstances, when better arise, as they may, life becomes child's play.
Thomas Hardy
We ought to feel deep cheerfulness that a happy Providence kept it from being any worse.
