Whose every touch defames your bloomfulness,Īnd with each stain increases our distress?īut you must needs desert the kine-cropt vale Here is the surviving poem based on the lost novel:Īs heroine of our artless masquings here,Īnd count few Wessex’ daughters half so dear? Hardy destroyed the last surviving fragment in his last years, after giving up an attempt of rewriting the novel. Nevertheless, he used some of the novel’s scenes and themes in later works, particularly in the poem “The Poor Man and the Lady” and in the novella An Indiscretion in the Life of an Heiress (1878). After the manuscript had been rejected by several publishers, Hardy gave up his attempts to sell the novel in its original form.
