The title for this bronze comes from a poem by Yves Bonnefoy. 
 
Thus We Shall Walk
 
Thus we shall walk on the ruins of a vast sky,
The distant landscape will come into fullness
Like a destiny in the vivid light.
 
The long-sought most beautiful country
Will lie out before us --land of the salamanders.
 
Death is in it.
This is the secret lamp burning under our gestures,
Thus we walk lighted.
