I had to answer this essay question:
"How does Hardy present the supernatural in his poetry?"
Now, I picked out a couple of poems about ghosts, and the dead talking, as well as a poem where he talks to God.
The teacher sternly said to me, clearly not impressed, that "religion does not count as the supernatural."
I shrugged, and reported the verdict back to my atheist family and we all had a good, cynical laugh. xD
