Explore "A Thought in Two Moods" by Thomas Hardy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I SAW it-pink and white-revealed / Upon the white and green; / The white and green was a daisied field, / The pink and white Ethleen.
And as I looked it seemed in kind / That difference they had none; / The two fair bodiments combined / As varied miens of one.
A sense that, in some mouldering year, / As one they both would lie, / Made me move quickly on to her / To pass the pale thought by.
She laughed and said: "Out there, to me, / You looked so weather-browned, / And brown in clothes, you seemed to be / Made of the dusty ground! "
