Quotation:
About Hardy writing poetry. "If he was in his study, he would be sitting in his socks, his boots or slippers always removed 'as a preliminary to writing'... He kept a neat desk, and a finished poem would be put carefully aside to be reconsidered. Then slippers on again, he could go downstairs for a cup of tea and a slice of cake with Emma, before returning with renewed energy to pursue his life."
