Penelope, 1980 | oil on canvas, 40 x 48 in. David Legare
Core Professor Tabatabai, in his poem Penelope Waiting, writes:
They say: ‘After twenty years,
why does she still wait
for him? He must have
succumbed to Poseidon’s wrath.
his bleached bones,
on an unknown beach,
have become the pelican’s fare.’
