Barbican, London. The Barbican Muse is a sculpture of a woman, holding tragedy and comedy masks, by Matthew Spender, and was installed on a wall near the Silk Street entrance to the Barbican Centre in the City of London, England, in 1994. It now appears to be forgotten, unlit, surrounded by leaking pipework, and in need of a clean. Caught on the London Group flickrwalk.

I.
".....By the window I sat, and a black rose I sent you
In a glass of sky-golden ayi.
...............................................................................
Darting up like a great startled bird, you winged past me
And seemed light as a thing in a dream...
Drooping lashes, a faint breath of perfume, the restless
Swhish and whisper of silk, and its sheen.
But from out of the mirrors at me you threw glances,
Shouting "Catch!" as you moved swiftly on,
And the Gypsy, her beads jingling, never stopped dancing
And shrilled loudly of love to the dawn."
-Aleksandr Blok, 1910
II.
"In the deep of your tunes, always secret,
Lie the fatal notation of death,
A damnation of gospels our sacred,
A dishonor of all that is blessed,
And a power so engraving,
That I’m almost sure all time,
That you’ve felled down angels of Heaven
By a sword of your heavenly charm…
When you mock at my own religion,
It begins always shine above you,
As I saw long ago in my visions, –
That strange orb – greyish-purple, pale-blew.
Kind or evil, you’re out of this Nature,
Though everyone different tells:
For some men you are Muse and great rapture,
But for me you are torment and hell.
I don’t know why in the dawn,
When I finally lost all my strengths,
I didn’t perished, but met you alone,
And begged your consolations in stress.
I portrayed you as rival and blurry
Then why did you put into my arms
Fields with flowers, firmaments starry –
All damnation of your evil charms.
More treacherous than cold nights’ cover,
More addling than gold of champagne,
Shorter than love of the gypsy lover
Were your awful caresses again…
And there were devastating elation
In that trampling of sanctified things
And that cureless heart’s exaltation --
Bitter passion that like wormwood stings."
-Aleksandr Blok

You (you, you)
Were my oppressor
And I (I, I)
I have been programmed to obey
And now (now, now)
You are my handler
And I (I, I)
I will execute your demands
Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you
Behold (hold, hold)
My trance formation
And you (you, you)
Are empowered to do as you please
My mind (mind, mind)
Was lost in translation
And my heart (heart, heart)
Has become a cold and impassive machine
Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you
I won't let you control my feelings anymore
And I will no longer do as I am told
And I am no longer afraid to walk alone
Let me go
Let me be
I'm escaping from your grip
You will never own me again
