AT CASTERBRIDGE FAIR: 4. THE MARKET-GIRL, by THOMAS HARDY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Nobody took any notice of her as she stood on the causey know Last Line: And I found that though no others had bid, a prize had been won by me. Subject(s): Festivals; Fairs; Pageants | |||
NOBODY took any notice of her as she stood on the causey kerb, All eager to sell her honey and apples and bunches of garden herb; And if she had offered to give her wares and herself with them too that day, I doubt if a soul would have cared to take a bargain so choice away. But chancing to trace her sunburnt grace that morning as I passed nigh, I went and I said 'Poor maidy dear! - and will none of the people buy?' And so it began; and soon we knew what the end of it all must be, And I found that though no others had bid, a prize had been won by me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FESTIVAL OF GIOVEDI GRASSO by MATTHEA HARVEY I DEFINE THE DARKNESS CORRECT: THE FESTIVAL OF THE FRERES LUMIERES by ELENI SIKELIANOS THE DANCE (2) by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS AT CASTERBRIDGE FAIR: 1.
