Thomas Hardy - The Temporary The All

Thomas Hardy - The Temporary The All

CHANGE and chancefulness in my flowering youthtime, br Set me sun by sun near to one unchosen; br Wrought us fellowly, and despite divergence, br Friends interblent us. br br 'Cherish him can I while the true one forthcome- br Come the rich fulfiller of my prevision; br Life is roomy yet, and the odds unbounded.' br So self-communed I. br br Thwart my wistful way did a damsel saunter, br Fair not fairest, good not best of her feather; br 'Maiden meet,' held I, 'till arise my forefelt br Wonder of women.' br br Long a visioned hermitage deep desiring, br Tenements uncouth I was fain to house in; br 'Let such lodging be for a breath-while,' thought I, br 'Soon a more seemly. br br 'Then, high handiwork will I make my life-deed, br Truth and Light outshow; but the ripe time pending, br Intermissive aim at the thing sufficeth.
