Tate Modern
This turbine hall, these galleries of light
Are freighted with a purpose and a power.
This bridge is like a contract, and this tower
Evidence of a legacy, a right.
Massive with possibility they stand
Open to such surprise as may exist
Deep in the pulse, the chambers of the heart;
Exacting fresh precision from the hand,
Risk in the brush, resilience in the wrist,
New thoughts to paint, new passions to impart.
James Fenton
