Naturally, Ike continued, all of us want to save Indo-China, but no nation can be saved for the free world unless it wants to be saved.

Toledano says he was trying to show "the seeds of life and the forces which protect it," using human, bird and animal parts to create "a synthesis of life." In Parallel, Toledano's intent is clearer. As he explains it, "The man and the vase, the animate and the inanimate, resemble each other very much. The joke is on man here.
