Quote of the Day (Thomas Hardy, on the Enduring ‘Family Face’)


“I am the family face;
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.”—English novelist-poet Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), “Heredity,” in Moments of Vision and Miscellaneous Verses (1917)
