This part defines Biblical meekness, "The knight is a mobile, metal, killing-machine on four legs that is obviously capable of taking what he wants. That is why him raising his visor and offering a rose is such an arresting and romantic gesture. Chivalry, of course, is dead. But it is dead not because men have become pigs as the feminists say, but because men are no longer lean, mean, killing-machines. A lion choosing to lay down with the lambs is considered something unique and exemplary. A house cat doing the same is not considered anything worth writing about. A powerful man that refrains from taking a woman by force (even though he can) is loved. The reason for this ought to make sense intuitively and it is the same phenomenon at work with benign condescension. Yes, the Tsar could look down his nose at the commoners because he, objectively, has all the reasons to do so. After all, he is better-educated, more powerful, richer etc. The fact that he choose not to do so and instead forgives them for their boorishness, weakness and poverty wins them their undying love."
