“The Mermaids Secret “ Bronze Sculptures (22”T x 15”W x 6”D ) by Michael Parkes (born 1944)
THE MERMAID’S SECRET
“Her grandmother told her when she was very young:
‘Never listen to stories about the land world.
‘Never get close to a land creature.’
‘And above all, never forget that you are the sea.’
But as she sits, reading the story of the land creature, ‘Seabiscuit’, to her pet seahorse,
she knows she has become the bridge between the land and sea. ”
