I always thought of Vault like it was The Happy Prince, all that is left of him is his heart and courage and strength, everything else has been stripped away

Huh. That's a really interesting parallel. I recall homeless people wanting to sleep under it for shelter and getting kicked out all the time before it was moved from the city square. I like where it is now next to the big red Burnley tunnel ventilation tower thing at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. They make a really bold statement together.
