[Hardy-l] Hardy quote in The Economist

[Kathie Bassett]

Dear all-

In a very touching obituary written to eulogize the death of the last
surviving French foot soldier from World War I, a line from Thomas Hardy's
poem "The To-Be-Forgotten' is mentioned in the lead paragraph.  In the poem,
Hardy referred to a symbolic second death associated with the loss of living
memory as "oblivion's swallowing sea."

All my best,
Kathie Bassett
