Of course they overlap\u2014this is a very rough description. But the politician is responsible for law, for physical security, and in a world of tumult, of perpetual conflict, he has the alternatives, roughly again, of persuading people or shooting them. In the democracies, we persuade. And this gives great power to the spellbinder, the artist in words, the preacher, the demagogue, whatever you call him. Rousseau, Marx, Tolstoy, these were great spellbinders \u2026 Poets have started most of the revolutions, especially nationalist revolutions. On the other hand, life would die without poets, and democracy must have its spellbinders.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/4335\/differences-carolyn-gaiser\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-132693 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/differences.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/differences.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/differences-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/differences-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/4335\/differences-carolyn-gaiser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Differences<\/a><br \/>\nBy Carolyn Gaiser<br \/>\n<em>Issue no. 40 (Winter\u2013Spring 1967)<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The next morning it was cold in the apartment.
