Description: 

The narrator of "Centaur in Brass" describes the town's disused water tower, wryly, as Flem Snopes' "monument to himself" (149). As a monument it is "taller than anything in sight," but at the same time a symbol of the threat Flem poses to the rest of the town: it is "filled with a transient and symbolical liquid that was not even fit to drink" (168).
