Thomas Hardy and Old Father Time

In this third episode we explore Arthur Keegan's String Quartet no. 1 'Elegies for Tom' which responds to Thomas Hardy's poem Afterwards as well as Larkin's poem The Mower.

How does Hardy’s obsessession with death come out in his poetry?

Why is he pre-occupied with his own death?

How can a piece of music for string quartet respond to this?
