  7. When I set out for lyonnesse

  8. When I set out for Lyonnesse, A hundred miles away,The rime was on the spray,And starlight lit my lonesomenessWhen I set out for LyonnesseA hundred miles away.What would bechance at LyonnesseWhile I should sojourn thereNo prophet durst declare,Nor did the wisest wizard guessWhat would bechance at LyonnesseWhile I should sojourn there.When I came back from LyonnesseWith magic in my eyes,All marked with mute surmiseMy radiance rare and fathomless,When I came back from LyonnesseWith magic in my eyes!  Thomas Hardy

  9. summary • when the poet set out for Lyonnesse it was winter season the foliage of the trees was covered with frost he had to travel very far. The place was hundred miles away • No prophet or the wisest wizard could guess what experience the poet would have at Lyonnesse . He himself couldn’t predict his future. • When the poet returned from Lyonnesse his eyes were bright with happiness. It was as if he had experienced a revelation of life.everyone silently noticed that the poet’s happiness was of a rare quality and which cannot be mesured.

  10. Poem written by Thomas Hardy

  11. The levelled churchyard • The Levelled Churchyard "O passenger, pray list and catchOur sighs and piteous groans,Half stifled in this jumbled patchOf wrenched memorial stones!"We late-lamented, resting here,Are mixed to human jam,And each to each exclaims in fear,'I know not which I am!‘ “The wicked people have annexedThe verses on the good;A roaring drunkard sports the textTeetotal Tommy should!

  12. Where we are huddled none can trace,And if our names remain,They pave some path or p-ing placeWhere we have never "There's not a modest maiden elfBut dreads the final Trumpet,Lest half of her should rise herself,And half some local strumpet!"From restorations of Thy fane,From smoothings of Thy sward,From zealous Churchmen's pick and planeDeliver us O Lord! Amen!"
