Walter Raleigh
“What is our life? A play of passion.
Our mirth the music of division.
Our mother's wombs the tyring houses be,
Where we are drest for this short Comedy.
Heaven the judicious sharp spectator is,
That sits and marks still who doth act amiss,
Our graves that hide us from the searching sun,
Are like drawn curtains when the play is done.
Thus march we playing to our latest rest,
Only we die in earnest, that's no jest.”
Walter Raleigh

Thomas Hardy
“Silence has sometimes a remarkable power of showing itself as the disembodied sould of feeling wandering without its carcase, and it is then more impressive than speech. In the same way to say a little is often to tell more than to say.”
Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd

Thomas Hardy
“Be a good boy, remember; and be kind to animals and birds, and read all you can.”
Thomas Hardy, Jude the Obscure

Thomas Hardy
“George's son had done his work so thoroughly that he was considered too good a workman to live, and was, in fact, taken and tragically shot at twelve o'clock that same day—another instance of the untoward fate which so often attends dogs and other philosophers who follow out a train of reasoning to its logical conclusion, and attempt perfectly consistent conduct in a world made up so largely of compromise.”
Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd

Thomas Hardy
“the voice was unexpectedly attractive...common in descriptions, rare in experince.”
Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd
