Description and history
The 1982 bronze sculpture, installed on a granite base, depicts Morison holding binoculars; at his feet are bronze casts of crabs, shells, and starfish. It was surveyed as part of the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1993.[1]
Etched into the rock beside Morison’s sculpture is his counsel to young writers: ”Dream dreams, then write them aye, but live them first.”
