T.H. moved through the forest like the melody of a well-known song, in perfect harmony with his surroundings.

About This Quote

Thomas Hardy was an English novelist. Here he is describing how he felt as he walked through the forest, once again, for his daily walk. He felt as though he was moving through the forest like a familiar song. This makes sense if you consider that many of Hardy’s novels are set in the country, and that though Thomas Hardy described his own life as "unheroic," he was perhaps one of England’s most influential naturalists.
