“What a position of transcendent horror must that be, where the perpetrator of a great crime, till then a stranger to positive guilt, finds himself suddenly cut off, and forever, from all human sympathy, isolated from hope, the tenant of a solitary cell, and with a wide, impassable gulf yawning between him and that great brotherhood of which he has ceased to be a part--no longer regarded as a man, but as a monster in the shape of one, from whom Mercy herself turns away, and for whom Pity even has no tears!” MenHumansTurnsForeverCuttingCrimePositionTearsHorrorShapesMercyGuiltStrangerWideMonstersPityCellsBrotherhoodIsolatedSolitaryTranscendentPerpetratorsTenantsYawning Author:Christian Nestell Bovee

But if you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human creature can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby "it.” IfsHumansMayBodyYoungMotherDesireWaterChurchCompanyBloodAchieveCrimeBabyColdCreaturesGainsHatredShameMethodFellowsDearVariousCupsNeighborhoodScornDrainsReservoirsRobbingDregsVicarsYoung MotherIgnominy Book:Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow Source: Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow
