I am both strong and fragile.
Often, my reassuring presence fails to move you.
Keeping me with you is sometimes difficult.
But should I disappear, you will regret me a little more every day.
I am peace. Protect me… and I will protect you.
Statue of Peace, one of the eight allegorical figures in the Chorus grouping at the top of the monument.
