Slave Fountain
19 June 2009
Rightly or wrongly, I took this to be a depiction and celebration of slavery. Perhaps I was reading too much into a fountain. But I took an intense dislike to Sacre Coeur.
I was rather surprised that, on a Sunday, there was a band blasting out a rather substandard version of House of the Rising Sun, through amplification, from inside Church grounds.
Perhaps it's a complex irony that goes whooosh over my head but I can't get enthusiastic about a church that celebrates slavery and prostitution
