Everyone I've spoken to about it says it might be good, good to get away, good to travel, so long as I'm not running away. Except for one person who hasn't expressed any opinion on it. I'm looking for reasons to stay, stay here. I'm hoping for a reason to stay. I'm hoping one person will give me a reason. But I'm not holding my breath.

Zed I always used to wonder why anyone in their right mind would go to London on holiday. When you live so near you can't think of anything but getting away from it. It's so busy, full of people and noisey - there is no rest there. But I realise now, that it's different for you - the buildings are really quite impressive I guess.

Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed--and gazed--but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.
