Replying to a comment on:

Love, Fair (Free verse) by MacFrantic

A stifled beauty rests Catoring sunless isolation A mere Capulet in time Pulsing Radiating A statue of apprehension So long awaiting day

1. & 3. are the same thing. Neither of them work for apprehension, denoting as they do possession or origin.
2. The abstraction 'Liberty' has long been personified, as have 'Brittania' (or Britain), 'Spring', and 'Hope', among many others. In France, where the Statue of Liberty comes from, Liberty has been represented as a woman for hundreds of years. The Statue of Liberty, then, is a statue of the woman Liberty, who represents the quality liberty. There is no widely-known personification (or anythingfication, really) of apprehension.
4. Doesn't work either.

Perhaps I would have better said 'A statue of apprehension' just doesn't sound good to me. It doesn't immediately connote anything for me. But I find I've finished my Blake paper with no time to spare and must off to the Professorium to deliver it while wrapped gently around a throbbing cock, after which I will go somewhere sunny and sleep until tomorrow. This is as much of a 'life' as I desire right now.
