'nobody did come, because nobody does'

Some of the bleakest  lines ever written. Jude distraught at the wayside and Hardy intervenes just to say this. Little wonder it appealed to Beckett. Quiet repetition of despair. On attends toujours as Duras similarly knew.

Just watched Dr Who and his isolation and uniqueness heightened by his looming awareness of his impending extinction.  Water itself pursuing mankind in order to destroy the world. Echoes of Coleridge gone mad. Tennant more Hamlet than Doctor.
