Summary

This quote suggests that extreme forms of beauty and ugliness can alienate individuals from society or make them feel disconnected from others. When something is perceived as exceptionally beautiful or ugly, it tends to grab attention and stand out from the norm. This can lead to a sense of being an outsider or being separated from the common experience of others. It implies that striking aesthetic qualities can create a barrier that separates individuals, either by admiration or disdain, ultimately making them feel isolated from the collective.

Then an experience that perhaps no good man can ever have in our world came over him-a torrent of perfectly unmixed and lawful hatred. The energy of hating, never before felt without some guilt, without some dim knowledge that he was failing to distinguish the sinner from the sin, rose into his arms and legs till he felt like they were pillars of burning blood.
