Thomas Hardy - Lausanne, In Gibbon's Old Garden: 11-12 p.m.

(The 110th anniversary of the completion of the "Decline and Fall" at the same hour and place) br br    A spirit seems to pass, br    Formal in pose, but grave and grand withal: br    He contemplates a volume stout and tall, br And far lamps fleck him through the thin acacias. br br    Anon the book is closed, br    With "It is finished!" And at the alley's end br    He turns, and soon on me his glances bend; br And, as from earth, comes speech--small, muted, yet composed.
