7945 Thomas Hardy 1840-1928 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7945
AUTHOR:Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
QUOTATION:Whence comes solace? Not from seeing,
What is doing, suffering, being;
Not from noting Life’s conditions,
Not from heeding Time’s monitions;
  But in cleaving to the Dream
  And in gazing at the Gleam
  Whereby gray things golden seem.
ATTRIBUTION:On a fine Morning.
