Clapton
Pond.
For
some
it
is
an
oasis
of
calm
amid
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
a
vibrant
corner
of
Hackney.
To
others,
it
is
merely
the
final
destination
of
the
38
bus.
Sit
on
the
bench
and
watch
the
water
feature
and
dream
of
a
time
when
such
pleasures
were
the
preserve
of
the
few.
Now
we
all
can
sit
on
a
bench
and
watch
the
fountain.
Will
it
make
us
happy?
Of
course
not.
Happiness
is
not
reached
by
watching
water
spurt
into
the
sky.
Happiness
is
a
state
of
mind
found
in
all
of
us,
though
for
some
it
is
fleeting,
like
a
gentle
zephyr
on
a
still
day.
For
others
it
is
a
hurricane,
if
they
have
the
strength
to
bear
it.
There
is
also
a
good
chippy,
but
they
don't
do
gravy.
