II. I detest that man who bides his time to repay a wrong or fancied wrong, who keeps alive in his hardened nature the vile thing hatred, and wouldfor centuries, did he live thus long, --as the toad is kept alive in thesolid rock. Hugh Miller says he is 'disposed to regard the poison bag ofthe serpent as a mark of degradation;' this venomous spite is certainlya mark of degradation, and it is only creeping, crawling souls that haveit, but the creeping and crawling are a part of the curse. Yet I ...have a respect for honest indignation, righteous anger, such asthe O'Mollys have ever been capable of. And all the O'Molly blood in myveins has been stirred by the contemptuous manner in which some men havespoken of woman. 'Weak woman, --inconstant woman;' they have made thewind a type of her fickleness. In this they are right; for it has beenproved that the seasons in their return, day and night, are not moresure than the wind. Such fickleness as this is preferable to _man's_greatest constancy.
