Explore "The Two Men" by Thomas Hardy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THERE were two youths of equal age, / Wit, station, strength, and parentage; / They studied at the selfsame schools, / And shaped their thoughts by common rules.
One pondered on the life of man, / His hopes, his ending, and began / To rate the Market's sordid war / As something scarce worth living for.
