More From Thomas Hardy

We started off with physical evolution and got our form. then we somehow developed language, which meant cultural evolution could race so we could change our behavior really quickly instead of over hundreds and hundreds of years. and then comes moral evolution, which means we're not frightfully far along with people. and maybe we end up with a spiritual evolution, which is this connectedness with the rest of the life forms on the planet.
Spiritual Mean Years
The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness, and 'consciousness' cannot evolve unconsciously. the evolution of man is the evolution of his will, and 'will' cannot evolve involuntarily.

A man who wants to die feels angry and full of life and desperate and bored and exhausted, all at the same time; he wants to fight everyone, and he wants to curl up in a ball and hide in a cupboard somewhere. he wants to say sorry to everyone, and he wants everyone to know just how badly they've all let him down.

Absence, like death, sets a seal on the image of those we love: we cannot realize the intervening changes which time may have effected.
