The green fields below him, the blue sky above,
That he sings, and he sings; and for ever sings he—

In parks or alleys, comes haply on the verge
Of happiness, haply hysterics. Is.”

“A whole village-full of sensuous emotion, scattered abroad all the year long, surged here in a focus for an hour.

—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
