The reason that, underneath such circumstances, the "poetry" of the symbolic act of subjection will not be reached, lies partly in the truth that man has not the vanity of that weakling who would use blows to display his energy (as the love-serving knights did with the ladies of the Middle Ages), but prefers to exhibit his real advantages. From this time Rousseau felt a desire to have himself punished by ladies pleasing to him, a la Lambercier; but he asserts that until his youth he knew nothing of the relation of the sexes to each other. Yap, feeling the withering influence of this scorn, tucked his tail in and shrank near Tom's leg, who felt a bit of hurt for him, but had not the superhuman courage to appear behindhand with Bob in contempt for a dog who made so poor a figure. December 14th. While out strolling to-day, patient noticed a handsome man, and felt himself powerfully drawn towards him. |
