This is the enchanted statue that moved and interacted with countless faire-goes at the Alabama Renaissance Faire in Florence AL (2010)
Many of the Soviet era statues have been collected and put on display in a park in the outskirts of Budapest...Interesting ideological point that money is being made out of tourists going to see the statues - wonder what the communists would have thought of that?

If all the statues in the world
Would turn to flesh with teeth of pearl
Would they be kind enough to comfort me?

This statue is on the other side of the archway from the Sam Houston statue in the Capitol building in Austin, Texas. Stephen Austin is considered the "father of Texas", having led the first 300 American settlers in, and been instrumental in getting more to come. The city of Austin is named for him, although it did not exist at the time of his death in 1836.
This statue is found in the south east corner of St. Stephen’s Green park. The statue was designed by Joseph Wackerle in bronze in 1956. It was a gift from the German people in thanks for Irish help to refugee children following World War II.

Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was a German-speaking Bohemian novelist and short-story writer, widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work fuses elements of realism and the fantastic. It typically features isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers. It has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best known works include the short story "The Metamorphosis" and novels The Trial and The Castle. The term Kafkaesque has entered English to describe situations like those found in his writing.
Kafka was born into a middle-class German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, today the capital of the Czech Republic. He trained as a lawyer and after completing his legal education was employed full-time by an insurance company, forcing him to relegate writing to his spare time. Over the course of his life, Kafka wrote hundreds of letters to family and close friends, including his father, with whom he had a strained and formal relationship. He became engaged to several women but never married. He died in 1924 at the age of 40 from tuberculosis.
Few of Kafka's works were published during his lifetime: the story collections Contemplation and A Country Doctor, and individual stories (such as "The Metamorphosis") were published in literary magazines but received little public attention. In his will, Kafka instructed his executor and friend Max Brod to destroy his unfinished works, including his novels The Trial, The Castle and Amerika, but Brod ignored these instructions. His work has influenced a vast range of writers, critics, artists, and philosophers during the 20th and 21st centuries.
