A Word for Wednesday

"I could only conclude that excessive vanity, like drunkenness, 

hardens the heart, enslaves the faculties, and perverts the feelings, 

and that dogs are not the only creatures which, when gorged to the throat, 

will yet gloat over what they cannot devour, 

and grudge the smallest morsel to a starving brother."

~from Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë~
