WRITE IN WATER
However hard wrought,
let the words float away free.
There are always more.

Great words, both yours & those depicted. What is this (Keats, presumably - "I have written my name in water") & where?

Dick, this is outside the Globe Theatre on the South Bank. It's a quote from Shakespeare's Henry VIII:
"Men's evil manners live in brass; their virtues
We write in water."
Keats' epitaph, which I think he wrote himself, must be a reference to this.

It's a beautiful sculpture, I've never seen it. Well photographed too, Jean.
I didn't know Keats ('Here lies on whose name is writ in water', I think...) was picking up on Shakespeare.
