Описание: Location: Lake Park and 55th, in Metra Underpass Univ Chicago Library Commentary: Caryl Yasko's fine work has been badly damaged by time and by the city's "graffiti blasters" who often seem to do more harm than good. If you look hard you can see that the work once portrayed working people struggling against the negative influences of city life--pollution, corporate greed and also militarism. Like "Alewives and Mercury Fish" across from it, "Under City Stone" has a harsh message delivered by an artist of some daring. Almost illegible now among the figures is the text of the poem by James Agee from which the mural gets its name: Rapid Transit Squealing under city stone The millions on the millions run, Every one a life alone, Every one a soul undone: There all the poisons of the heart Branch and abound like whirling brooks And there through every useless art Like spoiled meats on a butcher's hooks Pour forth upon their frightful kind The faces of each ruined child: The wrecked demeanors of the mind That now is tamed, and once was wild. — James Agee, 1937
