Captions available
The idea
Gold is precious, and it is the metal most capable of being beaten thin. Both properties travel: the love is valuable, and it survives attenuation. A vehicle chosen for two properties at once is a mark of the metaphysical manner this unit's next section takes up.
In practice
Two properties travel, not one.
Where people slip
Precious and ductile, both carried over.
