Thomas Hardy

It is very interesting how Hardy as described on pg. 1073, "built up his words into complicated structure, lines, and stanzas," his poetic energy seems to come from his business profession as an architect. To invision a buliding, than turn it into something readable as his poems.

After Hardy's passing, I'm trying to visualize his heart being buried with his 1st wife. How is this done? Was the heart put in formalidhyde and his grave opened up, and place with his remains? I have never heard to this before.

In Hardy's poem "On the Departure Platform," pg. 1074, Is this an imaginary women that he see's from a far and hoping she would notice him in a crowd?

Gloria,

OK questions about Hardy, but you don't really pursue them or do anything with them here. As a result the posting seems like a random set of exclamations, rather than analysis or discussion.
