Thomas Hood was a British poet and humorist who lived during the early 19th century. Known for his wit and clever wordplay, Hood often used his poetry to explore themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. One of his most famous poems, "It was not in the winter our loving lot was cast: it was the time of roses we pluck'd them as we pass'd," captures the fleeting nature of love and the beauty of moments shared with a loved one.
