If statues could talk.

Ton Bruynèl: Denk mal das Denkmal (the story of a statue told by itself for bariton, electronics and instrumental ensemble)

[french frank]

Thinking of Charles Ross's biography of Richard III in which he concluded that the evidence pointed to the fact that 'he did it' but the present-day judgement should be that he was 'a man of his time': this reminded me of Edward Colston, much commemorated in Bristol for his philanthropy, much reviled for his close connection with the slave trade. The statue of Colston in the city centre, which some say should be removed, might well be saying: "I was a man of my time."

I think if statues could talk, they'd probably have something to say to pigeons...

Ferret on M34 has a slightly naughty comment on pigeons and Statues.

Anther view of the Bach statue in front of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. This one shows his left side coat pocket turned inside out, indicating his chronic lack of money. He might be saying to the City Council: "Wo ist mein Geld?"

Yes Jonathan,

Yes there's a joke about statues and pigeons but some way back on the thread.

If I was a pigeon flying over the City
I'd make the stockbrokers look thoroughly sh*tty;
I'd sit on a cornice outside the Exchange
And teach all the buggers to keep out of range.
