She was a sort of celestial person, who owed her being to poetry.

Hello! Could I perhaps request a web weaving? I really love the poetry of web weaving, and saving my favorite lines away 💜 If I could request… a weaving about love and longing? Longing for love, longing for the person you love, loving a person for all eternity even if you have to wait for the person you love. Thank you so much, and have a good day 💜

I leant upon a coppice gate,

When Frost was spectre-gray,

And Winter's dregs made desolate

The weakening eye of day.

"but nobody did come, because nobody does" because nobody does you think "this is the moment. this is the moment when the hero appears and I am saved" you think "this is the moment when the music swells" someone will pull me out of the fire. out of the crashing waves. out from under the knife.

and you wait. and you wait. but life has no narrative. it holds no morals. it needs no heroes. “and under the crushing recognition of his gigantic error, Jude continued to wish himself out of the world.”

"The Darkling Thrush"

I leant upon a coppice gate When Frost was spectre-gray, And Winter's dregs made desolate The weakening eye of day. The tangled bine-stems scored the sky Like strings of broken lyres, And all mankind that haunted nigh Had sought their household fires.

The land's sharp features seemed to be The Century's corpse outleant, His crypt the cloudy canopy, The wind his death-lament. The ancient pulse of germ and birth Was shrunken hard and dry, And every spirit upon earth Seemed fervorless as I.

At once a voice arose among The bleak twigs overhead In a full-hearted evensong Of joy illimited; An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small In blast-beruffled plume, Had chosen thus to fling his soul Upon the growing gloom.

So little cause for carolings Of such ecstatic sound Was written on terrestrial things Afar or nigh around, That I could think there trembled through His happy good-night air Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew And I was unaware. By Thomas Hardy

The sky was clear - remarkably clear - and the twinkling of all the stars seemed to be but throbs of one body timed by a common pulse.

The trees overhead deepened the gloom of the hour, and they dripped sadly upon him, impressing him with forebodings - illogical forebodings; for though he knew that he loved her he also knew that he could not be more to her than he was.

Thomas Hardy, from 'Jude the Obscure'
