TWIN SPIRES BY JOHN BEHAN
The inspiration for this sculpture came from the following lines from Patrick Kavanagh's poem "Sanctity":
"To be a poet and not know / the trade / To be a lover and repel / all women / Twin ironies by which / great saints are made / The agonising pincer / jaws of heaven"
The National University of Ireland, Galway, houses a significant collection of Irish and international art, both traditional and contemporary.
