The Dove is Never Free

​I saw this mural on Sunday through the open gate to a car park and was immediately humming Leonard Cohen’s Anthem.

​“The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I seem to hear them say
Do not dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.”
Leonard Cohen

This mural is in a car park off Talbot St in Belfast. The gable end of the building accommodates the commemoration to the 1913 Lockout which was the street art uploaded on the first day of 2019. These are the Street Art photos uploaded for day 2 of 2019.
 
I was so impressed with the image, particularly the imagery on the feathers of the arrow
 
Enjoy the art – and the humming.
