J.D Salinger liked Thomas Hardy. He mentioned it in a passage of 'Catcher In The Rye.'
He said, (or Holden Caulfied did) "What really knocks me out is a book that, after you read it, you want to call up the author and talk to him. I would have wanted to call Thomas Hardy after reading about Eustacia Vye in 'Return of the Native.' "
Why don't they do the ones I like: the one that goes 'I leant upon a coppice gate when frost was spectre gray' and the one about the players in a mirror at midnight the meaning of which, I'll frankly admit, has escaped me ever since I read it.
If anyone KNOWS what 'The Players In A Mirror At Midnight' is about, I'll gladly listen to a suggestion.
B/c I've never been able to come up with even one logical conclusion. I guess it's going to be like that other poem, 'Mending Wall.'
