    At A Lunar Eclipse-Thomas Hardy
    Aug 25 2026
    LibriVox volunteers bring you 18 recordings of A Serenade, by Thomas Hood. This was the Weekly Poetry project for May 19, 2024. ------ There were scarcely any events in the life of Thomas Hood. One condition there was of too potent determining importance—life-long ill health; and one circumstance of moment—a commercial failure, and consequent expatriation. Beyond this, little presents itself for record in the outward facts of this upright and beneficial career, bright with genius and coruscating with wit, dark with the lengthening and deepening shadow of death. (Summary from The Biographical Introduction by William Michael Rossetti of The Poetical Works of Thomas Hood)
