Frases de Thomas Hardy
página 6

Thomas Hardy foi um novelista e poeta inglês. Autor de obras de grande importância, conhecido pelo pessimismo radical que caracteriza os seus romances.

De uma família de classe média, filho de um próspero construtor civil, passou sua infância no campo. Estudou arquitetura e trabalhou na restauração de edifícios antigos, principalmente igrejas, enquanto escrevia poemas que só publicaria no fim da vida, quando se revelou um extraordinário poeta. No seu período de maturidade , escreveu obras que se tornaram clássicos da literatura inglesa. Também foi um brilhante contista, que traçou perfis psicológicos antitéticos, portadores e conscientes de seus desejos sexuais e de sua própria opressão pela sociedade. O estilo prosaico e objetivo da sua linguagem, cuja temática voltava-se para a velhice, o amor e a morte, influiu na reação anti-romântica. Por tudo isso, foi considerado o "último dos grandes vitorianos".

Hardy casou-se com Emma Lavinia Gifford em 1874. Após a morte da esposa, em 1912, casou-se com Florence Emily Dugdale, autora de livros infantis. Morreu de causas naturais aos 87 anos. Ele está enterrado na Abadia de Westminster, com a excepção do seu coração, que está enterrado em Stinsford no condado de Dorset, próximo de Dorchester. Wikipedia

“In fact, precisely at this transitional point of its nightly roll into darkness the great and particular glory of the Egdon waste began, and nobody could be said to understand the heath who had not been there at such a time. It could best be felt when it could not clearly be seen, its complete effect and explanation lying in this and the succeeding hours before the next dawn; then, and only then, did it tell its true tale.”

“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.”

“To find themselves utterly alone at night where company is desirable and expected makes some people fearful; but a case more trying by far to the nerves is to discover some mysterious companionship when intuition, sensation, memory, analogy, testimony, probability, induction — every kind of evidence in the logician's list — have united to persuade consciousness that it is quite in isolation.”

“Sometimes a woman's love of being loved gets the better of her conscience, and though she is agonized at the thought of treating a man cruelly, she encourages him to love her while she doesn't love him at all. Then, when she sees him suffering, her remorse sets in, and she does what she can to repair the wrong.”

“An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small,
In blast-beruffled plume,
Had chosen thus to fling his soul
Upon the growing gloom.

So little cause for carolings
Of such ecstatic sound
Was written on terrestrial things
Afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through
His happy good-night air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew
And I was unaware.”

"The Darkling Thrush", lines 21-32

“Few people seem to perceive fully as yet that the most far-reaching consequence of the establishment of the common origin of all species is ethical; that it logically involved a readjustment of altruistic morals, by enlarging, as a necessity of rightness, the application of what has been called the 'Golden Rule' from the area of mere mankind to that of the whole animal kingdom. Possibly Darwin himself did not quite perceive it. While man was deemed to be a creation apart from all other creations, a secondary or tertiary morality was considered good enough to practise towards the 'inferior' races; but no person who reasons nowadays can escape the trying conclusion that this is not maintainable. And though we may not at present see how the principle of equal justice all round is to be carried out in it entirety, I recognize that the League is grappling with the question.”
