- 16px Interesting article on good sources! The hook is sourced but could be more interesting, even without mentioning "frustrated sex", - how is any of "iconography of despair, or of defiance", or "scuttling across the floors of silent seas"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- Alt1: Template:U, what about: ... that Herbert Read was quoting from Prufrock by T.S. Eliot when he described the work of the Geometry of Fear sculptors at the 1952 Biennale in Venice as "scuttling across the floors of silent seas"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justlettersandnumbers (talk • contribs) 06:59, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
- good to know but not in the article, rightly so, - and too long for my taste, - don't say it all, people should want to read more ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:28, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
- Template:U, it's in the article:Template:Quotation
- It's cited to Ann Jones (2007), the Arts Council leaflet for the commemorative exhibition. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:22, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you. I still propose - for interest's sake - to shorten:
- ALT2: ... that Herbert Read described the work of the Geometry of Fear sculptors at the 1952 Venice Biennale as "scuttling across the floors of silent seas"?
