Quote by Thomas Hardy
If all hearts were open and all desires known -- as they would be

If all hearts were open and all desires known — as they would be if people showed their souls — how many gapings, sighings, clenched fists, knotted brows, broad grins, and red eyes should we see in the market-place! – Thomas Hardy
