The hidden, obvious truths...

The Self-Unseeing, by Thomas Hardy

Here is the ancient floor,
Footworn and hollowed and thin,
Here was the former door
Where the dead feet walked in.

She set in her chair,
Smiling into the fire ;
He who played stood there,
Bowing it higher and higher.

Childlike i danced in a dream
Blessings emblazoned that day
Everything glowed with a dream
Yet we were looking away
