Wooden plaque from the City's Human Relations Commission with prose by Irish poet Seamus Heaney in 'The Cure at Troy', a verse adaptation of Sophocles' play Philoctetes. The story comes from myths relating to the Trojan War. Heaney's version is well known for its lines: 'History says don't hope on this side of the grave, but then, once in a lifetime, the longed-for tidal wave of justice can rise up and hope and history rhyme'. Donor's name and occasion information were not provided to the City Clerk's office.
