Thomas Hardy's poem 'The Going' expresses the sorrow and regret Hardy feels following the death of his wife Emma, in September 1912. Hardy speaks of a faded happiness in between them and the days long dead when they were youthful. He asks 'Why did you give no hint that night' as a gentle accusation, as if blameful of his late wife to think that he would not care of her illness while slightly blaming himself that he had not better expressed his unconditional love for her, in her death more apparent than ever.
