The Maverick Room, by Thomas Sayers Ellis

My father was an enormous man
Who believed kindness and lack of size
Were nothing more than sissified
Signs of weakness. Narrow-minded,

His eyes were the worst kind
Of jury--deliberate, distant, hard. [poetry]



Envy: The Seven Deadly Sins, by Joseph Epstein

Do other people have things which you want — and, even worse, which they don’t deserve in the first place? If so, then you are envious. Envy isn’t jealousy: to be jealous is to want to protect what you have; to be envious is to want what others have. Of all the deadly sins, envy is the one which few people are willing to admit to or willing to rehabilitate and make normal. People are willing to be lustful, angry, or even greedy. There remains something inappropriate about being envious, though.[Oxford University Press]
