The bronze Of the retired Governor

Not many visitors to the gallery
these days fail to notice with a smile
that on the opposite side of the room
from the Sulzer bust is a life size
seated figure Of Voltaire in marble.
Voltaire's head is turned away from
the Governor. Upon the lips is a
cynical, sneerinr smile. The eyes are
partly cast down.
