{{Userspace draft|source=ArticleWizard|date=March 2017}}{{Italic title}}Moments of Vision [and Miscellaneous Verse] is a collection of poems by English poet Thomas Hardy published in 1917. His largest poetic collection (including as it did the wartime sequence 'Poems of War and Patriotism'),[1] Moments of Vision is (for Hardy's poetry) unusually unified in emotional tone, and is considered to include some of the finest work of his late poetic career.[2]

Themes

The key-note (and title) of the collection was given by the opening poem, with its examination of the mystery of consciousness in a material world,[3] setting the stage for the introspective meditation on human feeling that pervades much of the volume.[4] Having successfully achieved an integration of past and present in the Poems 1912-13, [5] Hardy was able to capitalise on his ability to work through long-buried emotions in the present, balancing the vitality of his past visions against the march of time.[6]

Some thirty poems related to his first wife, Emma,[7] while other notable poems included were 'The Last Signal' (on William Barnes,[8] and 'Logs on the Hearth' about his recently deceased sister.[9]

Influence

  • Virginia Woolf took Hardy's phrase as a key to the occasions of heightened intensity that gave meaning to life: “the year is marked by moments of great intensity. Hardy's 'moments of vision'”.[10]
