The Anne Sullivan fountain in the Helen Keller garden, Cambridge, Massachusetts: Literary New England #23

Down a small pathway off Brattle Street in Cambridge is the Helen Keller fountain with a small lion with water coming from its mouth. Keller explains the revelation that Anne Sullivan brought to her in The Story of My Life (1924).

On the brick wall at each side of the fountain is a plaque, one of which is in Braille.

The other is in English:

'IN MEMORY OF
