I'm still reading the biography of Fourier. I'm trying to hold my tongue until I've finished.

But for now a quote for [livejournal.com profile] bravecows:

"To the discerning eye, wrote Fourier, it was evident that the elephant embodied the four affective passions in their virtuous forms. The elephant was a devoted, but not servile, friend, a discreet and constant lover, a creature of large aims and ambitions, and a doting parent who was too responsible to bear children in captivity."
