I Travel as A Phantom Now
3 years ago
I Travel as a phantom now
For people do not wish to see,
In flesh and blood, as bare a bough
As nature makes of me.
And thus I visit bodiless,
Strange gloomy households, often at odds,
And wonder if man’s consiousness
Was a mistake of Gods.
And next I meet you, and I pause,
And think if a mistake it were,
as some have said, O then it was
One that I well can bear.
Thomas Hardy, 1915
