Lippold wanted "To create a memorial   Something large enough to walk through   Like architecture, linear, in pure experience   Otherwise nonfunctional"   Like a novel   Like the story of your life   Like Dahlberg's garden   Full of bucolic delights   So what did it mean   When Dahlberg changed his mind   Sweet creeks and leaves   Changed to serpentine trees + vines   Like a novel   "A writer should dig out   The things that they would not   Admit to themself"   That's what Olsen said   A disillusioned student put it more simply   "There's not enough character here   And too much personality"
