A face devoid of love or grace,
A hateful, hard, successful face,
A face with which a stone
Would feel as thoroughly at ease
As were they old acquaintances --
First time together thrown.
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
(This poem is in the public domain.)
The face of my hateful younger brother Roger:
"A face devoid of love . . . "
