4.3 Heart Broken sorrowing
In this poems, hardy tells love can make someone heart broken. If you love dead and it to be sorrowing of love and also your life to be loneliness. In this poems,
Hardy expression about sorrowing of his love. The going poem is about Emma death which as sudden and unexpected they
alley in max gate garden where Emma used often to Cornwall. In this poem, still the readers meet a lot of visual imagery besides the auditory and the tension imagery.
Structurally, line 1- 14 tells how Hardy feels disappointed and mournful since Emma left him without notice. While 15- 42 tells how Hardy remembers the things he did
with Emma in the past. As readers I can see in the first and the second stanza :
Why did you give no hint that night That quickly after the morrow’s dawn,
And calmly, as indifferent quite, You would close your term here, up and be gone
Where I could not follow With wing of swallow
To again one glimpse of you ever anon stanza 1, lines 1-7
The visual imagery here reflects in how Hardy uses the words such as ‘ night in line 1
= why did you give no hint that night ; ‘dawn’ as in line 1 = that quickly
31

after the morrow’s dawn ‘ wing’ as line 6 = with wing of swallow ; ‘the
glimpse’ as in line 7= to again one glimpse of you ever anon those visual imagery express
the regret Thomas hardy toward Emma since she suddenly disappears after the dawn.
The tension imagery in the first stanza can be found in the word ‘ follow’ in line 5 =
where I could not follow . This makes the readers experienced what Hardy’s experiences
when he cannot find Emma everywhere because she does not give any hint to him. From the first stanza above, in the thesis I learn that Hardy seems Disappointed
toward Emma since she does not give a sign that she will die at dawn. Hardy tries to follow her with the ‘ wing of swallow’ but it is useless. Through this stanza, in the thesis, I can learn
how desperate Hardy is at that moment because he never thinks that Emma will leave him so soon without saying ‘ good bye’.
Never to bid good- bye, Or lip the softest call,
Or utter a wish for a word, while I Saw morning harden upon the wall,
Unmoved, unknowing That your great going
Had place that moment, and altered all. stanza 2, line 8-14

The first imagery that the speaker uses is visual imagery such as ‘ morning’ in line 11 = saw morning; and the ’wall’ = here, Thomas Hardy describes his mourn in the morning and is
Witnessed by the wall. Lines 8- 14 above seems to let I know that there was no goodbye between Hardy and
Emma. The word “ saw morning harden upon the wall line 11 means that the time stop and Hardy did not know that the death of Emma also stop all. In the thesis, I grasps the intimacy
from line “ That your great going” shows how Emma’s going gives deep impact on Hardy
since he uses the word great to describe her going. In other word, it also shows how Hardy regards the value of the moments while was Emma next to him.
While the auditory imagery is used in the word ‘ the call’ in line 9 = or lip me the softest call and ‘ utter’a word’. Here, hardy want the readers to know his feeling of regret
since Emma never to “bid good bye” line 8 to him. In the poem they are put in 8-9 :
Never to bid good- bye, Or lip the softest call,
Or utter a wish for a word, while I lines 8-9
In the third stanza there are four kinds of imagery inside, they are internal sensation, the visual imagery, the auditory visual ant the tactile imagery.

Why do you make me leave the house And think for a breathe it is you I see
At the end of the alley of bending boughs Where so often at dusk you used to be ;
Till in darkening dankness The yawning blankness
Of the perspective sickens me stanza 3, lines 15-21
The visual imagery is used in the first line such as ‘ house’ = why do you make me leave the house ; ‘ alley’ in line 17 = at the end of the alley ‘dusk’ in line 18 = where so
often at dusk you used to be ; and in the word ‘dark’ as in line 9 = Till in darkening dankness
In the three stanza, tell to show that hardy thinks that he sees Emma at the end of alley of bending boughs he goes to there until dark but he cannot find her.
The internal sensation is like the word ‘ breathe’ as in line 16 And think for a breathe it is you I see . Here, Hardy wants to inform the readers that it is only Emma that he
is thinking of for all the time.
The tactile imagery as in the word ‘ dankness’ in line 19 = Till in darkening dankness which the dankness here means damp and cold. Hardy likes to make the readers
‘feel’ the dankness as if she experienced the dankness in the real world. 34

In the fourth stanza, in the thesis, I meets with the visual in line 23-25 and in line 25.
They are ‘ red- veined rocks’ as in line 23 = by those red- veined rocks far West ; ‘swan’ in line 24 = You were the saw- necked one who rode ; ‘beetling’ as in line
25 = Along the beetling Beeny Crest ‘eye’ in line 27 = Would muse and eye me
. Besides the visual imagery, e also can find the kinesthetic imagery as in the word ‘
unrolled’ in line 28 = While life unrolled us its very best You were she who abode
By those red- veined rocks far West, You were the swan- necked one who rode
Along the beetling Beeny Crest, And, reining nigh me,
Would muse and eye me, While Life unrolled us its very best.
stanza 4, line 23-28
In the fourth stanza, tells to explain how Hardy was looking at Emma when she “rode’ along the beetling Beeny Crest and how Hardy wants to say that life had brought them
to its very best.
Why, then, latterly did we not speak, Did we not think of those days long dead,
And ere your vanishing strive to seek That time’s renewal ? we might have said,

In this bright spring weather We’ll visit together
Those places that once we visited Stanza 5, lines 29- 35
In the fifth stanza above, I will meets three kind of imagery such as the visual
imagery in the word ‘ spring’ as in line 33 In this bright spring weather ; the auditory imagery as in ‘speak’ in line 29 = Why, then latterly did not speak ; ‘said’ in line 32 =
And ere your vanishing strive to seek . This stanza want to tell the readers that the division
between Hardy and Emma should not happen. Actually, they can visit the places once they
visited before but they did not. Well, well All’s past amend
Unchangeable, it must go. I seem but a dead man held on end
To sink down soon… O you could not know That such swift fleeing
No soul foreseeing- Not even I- would undo me so
stanza 6, line 36-42
In the last stanza, I think there are two kinds of imagery that are the visual imagery and the tension imagery the visual imagery is use word like ‘ man’ in line
38= I see but a dead man held on end
36

Which shows Hardy’s feeling toward himself as he is desperate like a dead man.
Whereas, the tension imagery reflected in the word ‘flee’ as in line 40 = That such swift fleeing and the word ‘undo’ in line 42 = Not even I would undo me so .
Lines 40 and 42 here try to make the readers understand that men have no power to change the time.
As a conclusion, “the Going tells the regret of Hardy toward Emma since she left him without notice. Somehow, the memories of Emma goes to hardy’s mind
once again and it causes him to remember her. And here, I can feel the coldness and the dampness of the poet’s experienced.
Poems in “ The Voice” also related to broken heart sorrowing . Most of the imagery used in this poem is visual imagery. Structurally, lines
1-8 tell how Hardy feels that Emma calls him and says she is not the same as she to used to be and lines 9-16 tell that Hardy feels desperate but he still can hear Emma
calling him. The visual imagery is the ’woman ‘ in line 1 =, woman much missed
which shows passion of Hardy to Emma ; how he is miss her, town in line 6=
Standing as when I drew near to town ; ‘gown’ in line 8 Even to the original air- blue gown ; and ‘leaves’ in line 14 = Leaves around me falling
The first four lines of this poem show the poet’s feeling toward Emma.
Woman much missed, how you call t me, call to me,

Saying that now you are not as you were When you had changed from the one who was all to me,
But as at first, when our day was fair. stanza 1, line 1-4
In the first stanza, besides there is a visual imagery in it, in this thesis, I can find also the auditory imagery. The auditory imagery is used in the word “ call’ in
line 1 = how you call me, call to me say in line 2 saying that you are not as you were here, the reader’s can ‘hear’ that the woman seems to ‘call’ on Hardy and says
that she is not like she was when their day was fair. In the second stanza below, in the thesis, I find three kinds of imagery. They
are the auditory imagery as in the word ‘hear’ in line 5= Can it be you that I hear ? ; the visual imagery in the word ‘ view’ in line 5= Let me view you, then ;
‘stand’ in line 6 = Standing as when and ‘ gown’ as in line 8 = Even to the original air- blue gown ; and the tension imagery such as ‘drew’ in near to the
town. Can it be you that I hear ? Let me view you, then,
Standing as when I drew near to the town Where you would wit for me, yes, as I knew you then,
Even to the original air- blue gown stanza 2, lines 5-8

The second stanza above tells how Hardy seems to ‘hear’ Emma’s voice when he ‘draws’ near to the town. He hopes that Emma will wait far him as surely as when Hardy
knows Emma will wait in her blue gown. The third stanza below deals with auditory imagery such as in the word ‘ breeze ‘ in
line 9 = Or is it only the breeze and ‘ hear’ in line 12 Heard no more again far no near ? kinesthetic in the word ‘ travel’ in line 10 Travelling across ; the visual imagery
in ‘mead’ as in line 10 = the wet mead and touch as in the word ‘wet’ in line 10 the wet mead to me hare
Or its only the breeze, in its listlessness Travelling across the wet mead to me here,
You being ever dissolved to existlessness, Heard no more again far or near ?
stanza 3, lines 13- 16
The third stanza shows to the readers how Hardy’s feeling of loss toward Emma because he finally realized that Emma is dissolved and it is only the breeze that Hardy hears.
Thus I, faltering forward, Leaves around me falling,
Wind oozing thin through the torn from norward, And the woman calling.
stanza 4, line 13- 16

Furthermore, in the last stanza in the thesis I find the kinesthetic , visual imagery, the tactile imagery ant the auditory imagery. The kinesthetic found in the word ‘ falter’ in the first line of
stanza = Thus I ; faltering forward ; the visual imagery in the word ‘ leaves’ in line 14 = Leaves around me falling and in the word ‘ thorn’ in line 15 = through the thorn from
norward the tactile imagery is used in the word ‘ wind’ as in line 15 = Wind oozing thin and the auditory imagery reflects in the word ‘ calling’ in line 16 = And the woman calling
Finally, in the last lines above, the imagery is used to show the attitudes of Hardy toward his past memories with Emma. Thus, Hardy falters forward but he still hears Emma’s
calling. In this thesis, I finds out from this analysis, that the poet uses imagery of sight,
sounds, touch and kinesthetic to make the readers share Hardy’s idea about love to his late wife. Wherever, love in expressed in poems through the use imagery.
