peer agreement (net): +2the polish [of a mirror] / a [mirror-like] polish Explanation: If we would like it to sound like real English, that is. "Our eye, the ordinary reader's eye, needs more of a balance between individuality and unity of effect, whereas the designer's eye delights in a mirror-like polish." Really, "the polish of a mirror" scans better, but I figure the image is too literal. |
