[The Poison Tree by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee]@TWC D-Link bookThe Poison Tree CHAPTER XVI 9/14
But she will not go! Her face is set against the house.
But if all coax her she must go.
Another design I have in my mind; will God permit me to carry it out? Why am I so angry with Surja Mukhi? She never did me any harm; on the contrary, she loves me and is kind to me.
Why, then, am I angry? Because Surja Mukhi is happy, and I am miserable; she is great, I am mean; she is mistress, I am servant; therefore my anger against her is strong.
If, you say, God made her great, how is that her fault? Why should I hurt her? I reply, God has done me harm.
