"The Black Legend claims that everything bad which happened in Spanish history was due to the Spanish Catholic church. The phrase seems to have originated from the black cloth worn by Phillip II and his priests."~~~James A. Michener : Texas. Ch1 Land of Many Lands...TASK FORCE

the official name of this structure is called Cloud Gate, and it was designed by the Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor. It was inspired by the appearance of liquid mercury, and it gets its name from the 12 foot arch in its middle. The arch is supposed give it a gate-like appearance while it reflects the clouds and Chicago skyline. But to me, and likely many others, it’s simply what makes it look like the bean we all know and love.

"The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth."

“This love of gold and wrought gemstones, this feeling that they reflected an ideal world and had some kind of enduring magic, went on right up to the time when the dark struggles for survival were over. It is arguable that western civilization was saved by its craftsmen. The wanderers could take their craftsmen with them. Since the smiths made princely  weapons as well as ornaments, they were as necessary to a chieftain’s status as were the bards whose calypsos celebrated his courage.” ~~~Kenneth Clark: Civilisation : 1 The Skin of our Teeth
