Thomas Hardy, Are You A Pessimist Or A Lover? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey
Thomas Hardy, Are You A Pessimist Or A Lover?
Thomas Hardy,
Are you a pessimist
Or a fatalist,
A drunkard
Or a lover,
Who,
Who are you?
But having disheartened,
You can take the U-turn
As stand you
A lover of a young maiden
Even in your old age,
Hardy,
Just the half of your age
And even lower than this.
Hardy, you were not
A pessimist,
But a lover,
A drunkard
And in your pastoral pessimism,
Lies it the love
And romanticism of yours.

Thomas Hardy was a feminist, a great sympathiser with the fate of fallen women, hence Tess of the D'Uurbevilles' a young innocent country girl, be spoiled by and spurned by her husband for the sin of rape, by a distant cousin, pure as the morning but in Victorian days, marriage demanded virgins, but not so fit the male? ?
Nice to read your comment.
