The+Phantom+Horsewoman--notes


 * A sweet soft scene** demonstrates that the poet is recalling all those wonderful time he had with the phantom lady, some scholars say that actually Hardy is remembering good times he had with Emma before she died.
 * A phantom of his own figuring** Hardy uses this line to reinforce dominant image of the depressing shore on which he stands staring at the empty waves from the sea.
 * Everywhere** Hardy uses it to show that Emma is in all parts of his life even though she is dead, every scene or a thing he sees it reminds him of her.
 * He withers daily** is used to imply that since the death of Emma Hardy was dying slowly.
 * Crazed** used as insane/ obsessed behavior towards something or someone.
