"Hap" by Thomas Hardy seems to be Hardy's self-expression of what life and pain are. From stanza one it seems that Hardy believes that all of his hardships are rained down from a deity that takes great pleasure from his agony. He is stating that the human race as a whole is doomed to suffer through the emotions god has given. Stanza two is the realization that humans must accept the suffering and accept the numerous complications of life. Here Hardy is saying that people must deal with the agony at hand because it has already happened and one must come to terms that there is no going back to the past. However in Stanza three Hardy recaps on what has caused the torment inside and blames all of his choices and emotions. He refers to all the negative emotions as "Crass Casualties" that blind him from being happy and regret as "purblind Doomsters" that linger in his mind.
