Summary

This quote suggests that the way we perceive and treat our cars and dogs reflects a similar dynamic to the relationship between an owner and a slave. Just as dogs have some influence over our actions and decisions, and cars hold a certain value to us, slaves in the past held a comparable worth. It serves as a reminder to critically assess the power dynamics and treatment we attribute to our possessions and companions.

He was a handsome man, not in the way of mercurial Cesare or the false angel, Morozzi, but with a calm steadiness that sat well upon him and shown in everything he did. The creations he drew from fire and air were possessed of great delicacy, but I was coming to realize that the man himself was as an oak, unshakable in the greatest storm.

Then, what's the matter?' I wonder, in fact, how many times I have said that or something equal to it to a woman passing palely through my life. Love is what this means, of course.
