THE SOVEREIGN CROWD

A strong man may either dominate and subdue the sovereign crowd when he

confronts it, as he would a wild beast, or he may breathe his thoughts

and ideas into it, which is only another form of domination.

As I am not strong enough to do either, I shun the sovereign masses, so

as not to become too keenly conscious of their collective bestiality and

ill temper.
