Helping hand at the Hayward – click to enlarge
“I shall not fear to stand before His Face
And answer for the schemes I reared on shifting sand
Whereon the waves are trailing albs of pointed lace,
If on my way I’ve lent the helping hand
To fellow-pilgrims toiling at my side,
Who, worn and weary, faint and fall beside the road,
If here betimes the blinding, scalding tear I’ve dried,
Or soothed a heart, or eased a gaffing load,
For He shall say “Your name in dust is hid,
No thought or word has earned you immortality;
Immortal only are the kindly things you did —
Amen I say, you did them unto me.”
John O Brien “Helping Hand”
Fabulous! I do love the way the Hayward embraces sculpture. I still remember trying to count up the skylie figures from a few years ago. Mind you, I think I would have painted the metal supports black to make them less obtrusive…
maybe red supports represent something Janet! confess I’ve never visited inside but plan to go with my grandaughter to upcoming light exhibit
Impressive!!
they certainly make a statement Donna
I really like these very much…Michelle
and the helping hand means so much Michelle
