Within my heart is lurking suspicion, and base fear, and shame and hate; but above all, tyrannous love sits throned, crowned with her graces, silent and in tears.
And its object is Art not power, sub-creation not domination and tyrannous re-forming of Creation.
A tyrannous and gluttonous demand for affection can be a horrible thing. But in ordinary life no one calls a child selfish because it turns for comfort to its mother; nor an adult who turns to his fellow "for company. " Those, whether children or adults, who do so least are not usually the most selfless.
