Lines on Vulnerability
Curious piece of graffiti on an old wall near the Cumberland Basin that reads "His charmed foot on the ball..But then his heel, his heel, his heel". A bit of research has uncovered that this is taken from a poem by poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy called "Ulysses" in which the legendary figure of Greek Mythology with the famously vulnerable heel is likened to modern footballing hero David Beckham whose ankle injury ruled him out of the recent World Cup tournament. Not sure why this has been added to this particular wall but it's a poem worth checking out.
