Neutral Tones

We stood by a pond that winter day,
And the sun was white, as though chidden of god,
And a few leaves lay on the starving sod;
　--They had fallen from an ash, and were gray.

Your eyes on me were as eyes that rove
Over tedious riddles of years ago;
And some words played between us to and fro--
　On which lost the more by our love.

The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing
Alive enough to have strength to die;
And a grin of bitterness swept thereby
　Like an ominous bird a-wing......

Since then, keen lessons that love deceives,
And wrings with wrong, have shaped to me
Your face, and the God-curst sun, and a tree,
　And a pond edged with grayish leaves.

- Thomas Hardy

전 어릴 때부터 하디가 소설가라고만 알고 있었는데

영국문학사 시간에 그가 시인이기도 했다는 걸 처음 배웠습니다.

많이 읽어보진 않아 뭐라 말할 수는 없지만,

그의 시어가 참 맘에 듭니다.

자주 들리지 못해 늘 죄송한 마음입니다... 넓은 마음으로 용서해 주세요.........ㅠㅠ
