We can see the general characteristics of the earlier decade if we look at two poems of very different qualities: `` Revulsion '' ( 1866 ) and `` Neutral Tones '' ( 1867 ).

`` Neutral Tones '' we immediately recognize as a fine poem in Hardy's most characteristic style: the plain but not quite colloquial language, the hard, particular, colorless images, the slightly odd stanza-form, the dramatic handling of the occasion, the refusal to resolve the issue -- all these we have seen in Hardy's best poems.

The details of the setting of `` Neutral Tones '' are not, strictly speaking, metaphorical, but they combine to create a mood which is appropriate both to a dismal winter day and to the end of love, and in this way love and weather, the emotions and the elements, symbolize each other in a way that is common to many of Hardy's best poems ( `` Weathers '', `` The Darkling Thrush '', and `` During Wind and Rain '', for example ) and to some moving passages in the novels as well ( Far From The Madding Crowd is full of scenes constructed in this way ).

In the 1860 - 70 decade there are many poems like `` Revulsion '', but there is only one `` Neutral Tones ''.
