Lippold wanted "To create a memorial
  Something large enough to walk through
  Like architecture, linear, in pure experience
  Otherwise nonfunctional"
    Like a novel
  Like the story of your life
  Like Dahlberg's garden
  Full of bucolic delights
    So what did it mean
  When Dahlberg changed his mind
  Sweet creeks and leaves
  Changed to serpentine trees + vines
    Like a novel
  "A writer should dig out
  The things that they would not
  Admit to themself"
    That's what Olsen said
  A disillusioned student put it more simply
  "There's not enough character here
  And too much personality"
