Two sphinxes sit on either side of the Liberty Memorial, "Memory" and "Future." Their faces are veiled with their wings. "Memory," facing east towards Flanders Fields and the seat of the war, has a hooded head and its face veiled with its wings to shut out the horrors or war. "Future," facing west, where "the course of the empire takes its way," has a veiled head and its face also veiled with its wings, as the future is veiled to all.
Future, facing West
