FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD

“In making even horizontal and clear inspections we colour and mould according to the wants within us whatever our eyes bring in.”

 

- Thomas Hardy, Far from the Madding Crowd

LOVE STORY – TAYLOR SWIFT

 

My father was a boxer

but that's not all he was at all

My mother was a nurse

but that did not define her or prevent her fall

they met under extraordinary circumstances

but they were far from ordinary

they died too soon and suddenly

my life became extraordinary

is it beyond all comprehension do you suppose

that I was once a Princess in a far-off land

and now I try to be ordinary

so that I will not stand out from the crowd; I stand

still like a wallflower yet shining bright

when my back is to the wall

my father's blood will stand and fight

watching the fading passers-by

eyes narrowed to the sun

dreaming of flying and wondering why

or how this life of mine had first begun

and now I am here in this beautiful place

Far from the Madding Crowd

Thomas Hardy book in hand

reciting passages aloud.
