Go then and take a part, but I will not. "Why?"
Because you consider yourself to be only one thread of those which are
in the tunic. Well then it was fitting for you to take care how you should
be like the rest of men, just as the thread has no design to be anything
superior to the other threads. But I wish to be purple, that small part
which is bright, and makes all the rest appear graceful and beautiful.
Why then do you tell me to make myself like the many? and if I do, how
shall I still be purple?
