Tag: Peer Pressure and Peer Guilt

There's nothing less fun than someone who doesn't want to 'play.' Jeremy tagged me -- and that's tag, not tag, of course. Here's how you play the game...

Find the nearest book. Turn to page 123. Go to the fifth sentence on the page.
Copy out the next three sentences and post to your blog. Name the book and the author, and tag three more folks.
Well, then it's Garder's Art Through the Ages for me, which tells us:
"Archaic frontality and rigidity gave way to natural motion in space. The high technical quality of the Riace warrior is equaled in another bronze statue set up a decade or two earlier to commemorate the victory of the tyrant Polyzalos of Gela (Sicily) in a chariot race at Delphi. The statue is almost all that remains of an enormous group composed of Polyzalos's driver, the chariot, the team of horses, and a young groom."
That's the Warrior from the sea off Riace, in comparison to the Kritios Boy and the Charioteer. Now, with apologies to Matt/Soho, Jesse, and The House in Jersey, we may proceed. No backs.
