Desde la terraza de la Tate Modern de Londres














Este es un poema de James Fenton (hecho por encargo para la inauguración de la Tate Modern). En la imagen, el puente del milenio, de Foster, y al fondo la catedral de san Pablo.



This turbine hall, these galleries of light
Are freighted with a purpose and a power.
This bridge is like a contract, and this tower
Evidence of a legacy, a right.

Massive with possibility they stand
Open to such surprise as may exist
Deep in the pulse, the chambers of the heart;
Exacting fresh precision from the hand,
Risk in the brush, resilience in the wrist,
New thoughts to paint, new passions to impart.
