A comment from "Jay" (that's all I know) about one of our presidential candidates:
"I’m reminded of the remorseless Cyclops in Homer’s Odysseus. His monocular vision is a metaphor, he is unable to perceive depth, and his outlook on the world is strictly superficial, especially when it comes to the suffering of Odysseus’ sailors as he eats them. His hunger is the only thing that matters; he is unable to sympathize with anyone unless it is himself."
