Mercury now
|
Proudly and merrily, Mercury had been greating the Kishinev dwellers
like this about a century; its sculpture was located above the front enrance into the City
Bank. When we made up our minds to photograph it better for our server, we were surprised
not to find it on the Organ Hall. We could only find its photograph in a restoration
workshop and a little bit later learnt a sorrowful story of its overthrow. When the
reconstructed into the Organ Hall building was put in commission, one high-ranking
official was very insulted to see Mercury's intimate organ. This person ordered to break
it off. Mercury did not sustain such a violation and fell apart. For the time being, our
pages is the only place from where he can reproachfully look at us and ask: "People,
when will you stop terminating and begin creating, contribute into heritage of your
ancestry?" |
