"The Difference" by Thomas Hardy is a short, aching poem about a moon, a blackbird's song, and the one person who isn't there to share them. This Thomas Hardy poem print sets it within a border of soft watercolour eucalyptus leaves, so the sadness of the words is held in something gentle and calm.
Hardy wrote much of his best-loved verse in the years after the death of his first wife, Emma, and "The Difference" carries that same quiet grief. The scene would be joyful if only his Heartmate could see it, and without her it means nothing. It makes a moving remembrance poem print for anyone who has lost a partner, and a fitting choice for readers who love Hardy's tender, melancholy love poetry.
It's a thoughtful sympathy gift for someone who has lost a husband or wife, a comforting gift for a widow or widower, or a meaningful anniversary remembrance gift for a couple's lost loved one. Hardy fans and lovers of classic English poetry will appreciate it too, and it can be bought framed or unframed to suit the giver.
