different

the things we’re told,
the things we see,
they’re as different,
as you and me.

This statue of Achilles stands in Hyde Park, London. It was sculpted in 1822 by Richard Westmacott. As the inscription explains, the statue was erected for the Duke of Wellington, cast from bronze made from cannon that were used in some of his most memorable battles, including Waterloo.
