Write about the poet’s journey, stay and return from the place called Lyonnesse in your words.
Answers
Answer:
As a young apprentice architect, the British poet and novelist Thomas Hardy once visited a parish to supervise the restoration of a church. On his return from the parish, people noticed two things about him — a new glow in his eyes and a crumpled piece of paper sticking out of his coat pocket. That paper, it is recorded in one of his biographies, contained the draft of a poem ‘When I set out for Lyonnesse’. This poem was inspired by a visit to a place which the poet calls Lyonnesse. Lyonnesse is a mythical place referred to in the legend of King Arthur. The poet’s choice to use this setting refers to an actual place that imparts an air of magic and mysticism.
About the Poet
Thomas Hardy was born in England on June 2, 1840. When he was 22, Hardy left for London where he was influenced by the works of Charles Swinburne, Robert Browning, and Charles Darwin. Hardy tried his hand at writing when he was 17. His first novel manuscript, The Poor Man and the Lady, was rejected by several publishers. A second story, Desperate Remedies was accepted and published. Hardy wrote short stories, poems, and plays for the rest of his life. He was quite prolific during this period, writing some 900 poems on a variety of subjects.
