| Scimitars Outgunned |
When I carved "Scimitar" I was trying to capture the life and
death dance of fair, practiced hand-to-hand combat, when
even the leaders were found on the field with their men.
"Scimitars Outgunned," however, shows the beginning of the
end of that parity, that feeling of pride one gets from years
and years of intense concentration, hard practice and the
acquisition of life-saving skills. The end of the rifle barrel
poking out between the swords marks the end of parity in the
struggle, the end of hand-to-hand skills and pride. It ushers in
the terrible power and destruction of long-distance war. A
button pushed 1,000 miles away that annihilates a town or city
along with every living thing near it. The type of war in which
the leaders are playing chess with living, breathing pieces. But
their chess game is being played far from the field of battle.
