Shakespeare in Winter
The Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park, founded in 1928, renovated in 1991, currently in a state of neglect, is my new cause. [click on images to enlarge]
The entry gate, donated by Steve Beach Blanket Babylon Silver in honor of Cyril Magnin, is missing a letter.
The six bronze plaques bearing spot quotes about plants are filthy and defaced.
The plantings are nondescript, at least by this layman, altho isn't that a California poppy lurking upper stage left?
And the bronze bust of Shakespeare himself, one of two copies of a portrait commissioned before 1623 by Shakespeare's son-in-law and given to us by Stratford-upon-Avon, lies hidden behind hideous doors to prevent it from being vandalized.
