For 2,560 days Eva Teale was missing. The sixteen year old disappeared off the streets in a quiet Sheffield suburb and her disappearance left a gaping wound.

"I am always sure that you understand
My feelings, always sure that you feel,
Sure that across the gulf you reach your hand.

You are invulnerable, you have no Achilles' heel.
You will go on, and when you have prevailed
You can say: at this point many a one has failed.

But what have I, but what have I, my friend,
To give you, what can you receive from me?
Only the friendship and the sympathy
Of one about to reach her journey's end."


Portrait of a Lady by T.S Eliot
