D.I have the amount of movement forward which the ship needs to be steered properly

So you think I am an automation？—a machine without feelings？ And can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched form. my lips and my drop of living water dashed from my cup？ Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless？ – You think wrong! – I have as much soul as you—and full as much heart!
