"I tell it to you plainly, love; it cannot be said for certain who plays the trellis in our little drama and who the vine.
It weren’t only you who’d been at mercy of the other; if the trellis does hang captive in the vine as you say, compromised in integrity...so too do the leaves grow fat and heavy in such elevated sunshine, and once the struts are brought away the whole and the part must fall. That’s the way of it, kiddo. No sense in playing the favored part."
