Then multiply the family, and the authority, by some hundreds and see the effect upon a sea-captain, to say nothing of an absolute monarch.Surely man in general is born to be oppressed or solitary, if he is to be fully human; unless it so happens that he is immune to the poison.” IfsMenHumansLooksPersonsHappensHumanityFatherIndividualBornRolesSeaEffectsHusbandAuthorityAbsolutesNotesPoisonSolitaryCaptainsOppressedPersonaImmuneMonarchsAbsorption Author:Patrick O'Brian
