“Oh, Sylvia Tietjens…A good hater! He imagined hatred coming to him in waves from the convent in which Sylvia had immured herself … He imagined Sylvia, coiled up on a convent bed… Hating… Her certainly glorious hair all around her… Hating… Slowly and coldly… Like the head of a snake when you examined it… Eyes motionless: mouth closed tight… Looking away into the distance and hating.”

I feel cold just thinking about the possibility that such people exist.
