Default fear of the unknown? rather OT



'Man is always, I think, made fearful by what he does not understand....

'A lady wishing to keep people from crossing her lawn put up a notice
BEWARE OF THE DOG.
It had no effect.

She then put one up BEWARE FIERCE DOG
- still no effect -

But when she put up BEWARE AGAPANTHUS, no one dared come near.'

Jim Ede - Founder of Kettle's Yard, Cambridge. (from ‘Open House’
Exhibition Catalogue)
