Excerpt from The Deuce and All
The great Art, the most direct Arrow which forces open the hearts of men, the surest, the most quickly forthcoming and acting consolation of the afflicted, the highest sentimental power, the physical and intellectual Pleasure which appeals to the largest number of people -what is it?

That compels, or, at least, helps with no little support, most of the animal races to perform the task which man gives them - such as the turning round in a circus for horses, or some tame exercise for wild lions and tigers?
