Watching and Waiting...

Some canny and somewhat fitting Thomas Hardy quotes...


While much is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

But no one came.  Because no one ever does.

Why is it that a woman can see from a distance what a man cannot see close?

There's a friendly tie of some sort between music and eating.

...she moved about in a mental cloud of many-coloured idealities, which eclipsed all sinister contingencies by its brightness.

If an offense come out of the truth, better is it that the offense come than that the truth be concealed.

The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing alive enough to have the strength to die.

Silence has sometimes a remarkable power of showing itself as the disembodied soul of feeling wandering without its carcase, and it is then more impressive than speech.

Then if children make so much trouble, why do peope have 'em?


And so, years later and far from the madding crowd that is nothing more than an attempt to silence views and opinions, the truth is burrowing its way to the surface.  Attempts to silence only compound thoughts of guilt.  United we stand, we are not going anywhere.  Like Madeleine, we are silently watching and waiting.


Watching and waiting.




Watching and waiting
For a friend to play with
Why have I been alone for so long
Mole he is burrowing his way to the sunlight
He knows there's someone there so strong
Cos here there's lots of room for doing
The things you've always been denied
Look and gather all you want to
There's no one here to stop you trying
Soon you will see me
Cos I'll be all around you
But where I come from I can't tell
But don't be alarmed by my fields and my forests
They're here for only you to share
Cos here there's lots of room for doing
The things you've always been denied
So look and gather all you want to
There's no one here to stop you trying


Watching and waiting
For someone to understand me
I hope it won't be very long...

  1. That's beautiful and so sad. It's been 4 long years up to now, let's hope it's not to be 4 more.

  2. A beautiful post written with such thought and love.

    Daniel Morgan waited 24 years for justice and then along came Tom Watson...and all roads lead back to Murdoch.

  3. Does anyone know what happened to blackwatch at the Sargeants Inn.
    Website has been unavailable for several weeks now and e mail is bounced back.
    He had a hell of connecting the dots and who knew who.
    I would say out of the all blogs, his had the most incriminating points for the met to look at.
    Is there anyway one can find out his wellbeing.
