recent statues in Cleveland's Lake View

Lake View Cemetery Cleveland bills itself as 'Cleveland's Outdoor Museum', and they have a point.  Recently they have added to their monuments.

Some they write up in their bi-yearly newsletter, and sometimes a new statue gets an article in the city's daily. Such as this one, by Rosa Serra for the family of Mark A. Smith. This bronze lion is a Spanish bronze that looks like stone. It is modeled after the character, Mufasa, in the movie Lion King. It still has the cemetery's temporary marker on site.

This new statue is accompanied by a poem's line from Robert Browning, “Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?”
