And in short, I was afraid

The mid line of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock poem, possibly a way of thinking about of the role of the artist when faced with the cannon of art history or the subject of art. In order to enter into being for any individual artist means going beyond their station and perhaps that could bring to the surface insecurities that could cause paralysis of the artist and so movement becomes essential. This point of potential paralysis could be a point where some kind of guidance is needed and the form of this guidance becomes the cannon itself or is within the cannon itself. So getting into something or being part of something, the something becomes part of the solution.
