“Sherman Led by Victory”
Is a St. Gaudens statue,
A cast-bronze allegory.
With Victory as a woman
Pulling his horse’s bridle
Out of a sculptor’s stable.
Leading him off the pedestal
Into a bronze fable.
I used to think Sherman
A beautiful buffoon.
But the dark sincerity
Of angel and warrior
Has laid its hands on me.
In the end She always wins.
Here a bronze beauty
Cast by St. Gaudens.
—Lawrence Dugan
