Edmund Dulac's poetry medal.


Edmund Dulac designed the reverse of the UK gold medal for poetry in 1935.

It has been used ever since.

The two sides explode together, but each is an artistic jewel in its own right. The girl with the flame and the absent-minded look reminds me of the statue Clémentine in Geneva. The statue, like the medal, invites interpretation but leaves it up to the individual viewer. It was one of my pilgrimage places to retire to after a day of UN bombast and inaction.
