Tess is most annoying I agree. Hardy'd be turning in his grave right now, he hated a bad review. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097784379722861203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-44125965001828376522012-07-03T12:11:41.810-07:002012-07-03T12:11:41.810-07:00Hi Pom Pom

I know the Betjeman quite well, but the Hardy was new to me and I wanted to share it.<br /><br />Hi Sunshine<br />I have a love/hate relationship with Hardy too. I just want to slap every character in Tess. However, I do love Far from the Madding Crowd and I prefer his poetry. Check out "The Ruined Maid", it's good and it's on the GCSE syllabus now.Dulce Domumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835872248177497717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-52730229376633104442012-07-03T07:17:49.641-07:002012-07-03T07:17:49.641-07:00Good ol' John Betjeman love that poem, not hea...Good ol' John Betjeman love that poem, not heard it before. Going to save it in my 'interesting' things file. :)<br /><br />As for Hardy I'm afraid I'm not generally a fan, for me he verges from bittersweet to, 'What the heck are you doing to that pig!' spiral of despair. I'm more of a Longfellow poem type girl. When I first started reading this poem I thought, "Is Hardy's poem really just going to be a sweet bit of rhyme?"...but no, there has to be a twist. I'll forgive Hardy anything for Far From the Madding Crowd though.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097784379722861203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-8789654699408356812012-07-03T06:44:55.185-07:002012-07-03T06:44:55.185-07:00Beautiful!
