referring to the poem The darkling thunders State how Thomas grandly has depicted nature in the poem

Solution
In the poem, ‘The Darkling Thrush’ Hardy has painted a gloomy and desolate landscape of a chill winter evening. The frost was ‘spectre-grey’. The tangled bine-stems looked like strings of broken lyre pointing at the sky.There was no cheerfulness and vibrancy of life. The landscape looks icy and dead. Nature seems stationary except for one singing bird that sings his last breath on this icy landscape. Hardy brings up the dichotomy of nature. Life so precious cannot exist against the natural seasons. Nature has specific times for life and it is harsh on living things that do not fit into its natural rhythms.
