Metaphor in Context
AN.
Away! I'll hear no tales, listen to none of the charities of life: my heart is steeled. I have not, will not have commiseration, humanity, or sympathy: or, if sympathy, 'tis the sympathy of hatred, which he first taught me! If I am vindictive, 'twas he made me so. Such is the sympathy between us.
