The Green Man

This modern sculpture depicts the Green Man.  The plaque alongside this sculpture says: My roots go down to the depths of the world, through earth dry brick, and damp earth, through veins of lead and silver. I am all fibre. I am green as a yew tree in the shade of the hedge. My hair is made of leaves. I am rooted in the middle of the earth. My body is a stalk. I press the stalk. The roots make a skeleton on the ground, with dead leaves heaped in the angles. Extracts from The Waves, Virginia Woolf (first published by the Hogarth press 1931)
