...second was a kind of prosthetic phallus which belonged to Thirsites. When fastened to his loincloth it was visible only when he turned upstage, and its curves were those of a snake. Released, and it was left hanging a good deal of the time, it hung to his knees. Insofar as it did not allow him the modesty allowed to those around him, it gave him a reason for his cynicism. Insofar as, when it was it was present, the full dramatic force of the play swung on its axis, it gave Thirsites immediately the authority which on the page...
MIDNIGHT COWBOY. Jon Voight is a strutting phallus, good for nothin' but lovin'; Dustin Hoffman is a septic, crippled thief.

...Oldenburg, his soft and cuddly toilet, with its water tank dipping to a U in the middle, suggests the Winged Victory. A magnified drainpipe incorporates the notion of a phallus and an elephant's trunk. Cigarettes on a tray look like cannons (he kicked the habit of three packs a day). Oldenburg's proposed colossal monuments were never meant to be built. Who wants a 650-ft. high Teddy bear in Central Park? But they are real nonetheless-they exist in the form of drawings, as "concepts" rather than sculpture...
