Elizabeth Strout Quotes
It Is A Marble Statue Of A Man With His Children Near Him, And The Man Has Such Desperation On His Face And The Children At His Feet Appear To Be Clinging, Begging Him, While He Gazes Out Toward The World With A Tortured Look, His Hands Pulling At His Nouth, But His Children Look Only At Him, And When I Finally Saw This, I Said Inside Myself, Oh.
I Read The Placard, Which Let Me Know That These Children Are Offering Themselves As Food For Their Father, He Is Being Starved To Death In Prison, And These Children Only Want One Thing - To Have Their Father's Distress Disappear. They Will Allow Him - Oh, Happily, Happily - To Eat Them.
And I Thought, So That Guy Knew. Meaning The Sculptor. He Knew.
And So Did The Poet Who Wrote What The Sculpture Has Shown. He Knew Too.
