It's a poem!

Unlike most poems, this one is endless (it's a work in progress), plus it is engraved on stones forming a street in the centre of Utrecht (a city in The Netherlands.)
Every Saturday at 13:00, the next letter is hewn into the next cobblestone, with the intent to continue for as long as there are Saturdays. It takes about three years to publish an average sentence. Every year the poem grows by about five meters. Every few years another poet extends the poem.

(The source above has a photo of part of this poem.)
