Looking out to sea

Have you read 'The French Lieutenant's Woman' or seen the movie. Intriguing, and probably based on a poem by Hardy. When I took the photo of the empty seats at the Waterfront, somehow it reminded me of that story.

Thomas Hardy : The Riddle
|
I
Stretching eyes west
Over the sea,
Wind foul or fair,
Always stood she
Prospect-impressed;
Solely out there
Did her gaze rest,
Never elsewhere
Seemed charm to be.
II
Always eyes east
Ponders she now—
As in devotion—
Hills of blank brow
Where no waves plough.
Never the least
Room for emotion
Drawn from the ocean
Does she allow.

These mysteries about people in the past are enticing. The poem so fits.
