He is creature mild and vicious, practical minded and capricious, Loving and brutal same and mad the good as puzzling as the bad. The sticky centre of this mess Is na uneasy selfihness.

He rips our flesh and tears our skin fot cloth .without, for food within.The leopard ,s spots àre his to wear . Our ivory unknots his hair .
