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. Not without some sort of implicit context.

2. Are you denying that there could be such a thing as a statue of apprehension, or that it would look like Sleeping Beauty? To deny the former is obviously buncombe. The fact that you can't easily think of what it might look like doesn't mean it couldn't exist.

But to deny the second is equally buncombe. It might once have seemed plausible to deny that a statue of liberty could like a woman holding a torch, but obviously it could. Is your imagination so withered that you actually need to see a statue in the shape of Sleeping Beauty that represents apprehension before you can accept there could be such a thing?
