But we, we who are here to realise the existence of the all-powerful Force which gives us complete mastery over the things of space and time and matter we, who know that over that individual moving universe of atoms called Man, It can hold absolute control, we can prove for ourselves that the whole earth is subject to the dominance of the immortal Soul, ay! and the very elements of air, fire and water! for these are but the ministers and servants to Its sovereign authority!"
He did not move, though indeed if he had seized the reins from her hands, he could have given her no greater effect of surprise. Life came back into the eyes at the summons, and dominance into the voice, although he breathed heavily. "No, you're not," he said; "no, you're not. I'm going to Ripton do you understand? I'll be all right in a minute, and I'll take the lines."
But the dominance of this motive is not due to a decline in the absolute importance of the other two utilities possessed by servants. It is rather that the altered circumstance of life accentuate the utility of servants for this last-named purpose. Women and other slaves are highly valued, both as an evidence of wealth and as a means of accumulating wealth.
Consequently, when a waterbuck is killed there is a fierce scramble among the porters to secure portions of the hide for this purpose. The male waterbucks are savage fighters among themselves, and it was not uncommon to see big bulls with one horn gone or with both horns badly broken or marred as a result of the jealous struggle for dominance of a herd of does.
Not Joe Ellison or Old Jimmie Carlisle, who had almost lived out their lives and whose natures were now settled into what they would be until the end. By playing upon the finer elements in Maggie's character he had all but succeeded in rousing to dominance that best nature which existed within her.
These people have learned a lot in the last few years, and they are learning most of all that the accumulation of wealth is the real secret of dominance. When they get control of the money, they'll begin to strive after culture, and acquire a smattering of education instead.
His face was brown and rough hewn. A straw hat, curled up into a grotesque shape, lay at his feet like some distorted bivalve. Its owner had an air of authority about him, even a touch of dominance in the way he scanned his cards or moved the pegs in the board. When his arm went out to the table, it moved with a ponderous steadiness.
The two themes seem to be battling for dominance, and the former wins, shouting its primal tune in brass and wood, while the second sinks to a rude clattering rhythm in the bass. But out of the clash, where the descending phrase recurs in the basses, the second melody emerges in full sonorous song.
I could not tell whether she had deliberately done it, or whether long usage to dominance in a household had made her speak as she did unconsciously. I made no reply, and, for a long time, we sat staring at the fire until Dicky's entrance came as a welcome interruption.
And in his wonder he knew that the real dominance strikes its roots in the heart, not in the head. "You were strong, then, and you were strong, you were wonderfully strong, when afterwards. On Monte Amato that evening you were strong." His mind went to that mountain summit.
