"When his estranged wife Emma died, she became Hardy’s muse, which irritated his new wife to no end. At 72, he became the magisterial, full-fledged poet he always thought himself to be. The Emma poems are elegiac, restrained, transcendent. He was buried in Poet’s Corner; his heart was removed and buried with the dead spouse."
