132. E sculpture with inscription
E sculpture with inscription
Description
This view documents an inscription on the surface of the "e" from Shakespeare's King Henry V. Note that the software under current use in the compilation process does not allow for the preservation of poetic stanzas. The content reads as follows: "Many things, having full reference to one consent, may work contrariously; as many arrows loosed several ways, fly to one mark, as many ways meet in one town; as many fresh streams meet in one salt sea; as many lines close in the dial's center; so may a thousand actions, once afoot, end in one purpose, and be all well borne without defeat.", L. Kirkland 1988; Oregon St. Univ.; Engineering College; Maxwell's EQ, The symbols scattered around the atrium form a kind of puzzle which reflects the scientist's focus on the ingredients of a solution, rather than the final solution. Hanging aluminum rods represent a sound wave, as on an oscilloscope. A steel X sculpture outdoors represents a vector field. The stone pieces indoors represent the symbols E, D, B, H, Delta, a point and an equal sign. Some of the sandblasted quotes are whimsical, as in Samuel Butler's "A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg." Kirkland's favorite is from a T. S. Eliot poem: "Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?" Kirkland said he is pleased with his effort in stone and the way it relates to the people who will see it. "I think that a public commission needs to be responsive to the people, to a specific audience."
