   What is the status of this statue? I always thought it should have a few verses from a W S Graham poem on the plaque beneath it

   “Who is the King of Whales? What is

   He like? Well you may ask. He is

   A kind of old uncle of mine

   And yours mushing across the blind

   Ice-cap between us in his furs

   Shouting at his delinquent dogs.

   What is his purpose? I try to find

   Whatever it is is wanted by going

   Out of my habits which is my name

   To ask him how I can do better.

   Tipped from a cake of ice I slid

   Into the walrus-barking water

   To find. I did not find another

   At the end of my cold cry.”

   Always thought it was about Edgar Evans
