This remarkably powerful piece seems quiet in presence at first; read further, and you’ll see the inscription, from a Haitian proverb: “No one listens to the cry of the poor or the sound of a wooden bell” and you realize the import: help those in need, and do not turn a deaf ear… From Proverbs 21:13 – The Jerusalem Bible “He who shuts his ear to the poor man’s cry shall himself plead and not be heard.”
