Ginsberg was created the Summer of 1992 for the Atlanta Arts Festival. A staff, it stands some five feet tall. The quotation is from Walt Whitman's, The Leaves of Grass.Quote on Stick
"Smile o' voluptuous cool-breathed earth!
Earth of the slumbering and liquid trees!
Earth of the departed sunset - earth of mountains misty-top!
Earth of the virteous pour of the full moon just tinged with blue!
Earth of shine and dark molting the tide of the river!
Earth of the limpid gray of clouds brighter and clearer for my sake!
Far-swooping elbow'd earth-rich apple-blossomed earth!
Smile, for your lover comes."
- Walt Whitman
