From an early age she developed a strong love of animals and abhorred any form of cruelty towards them. Born into a strict Quaker family who lived at Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, she was brought up to believe in the importance of self-reliance, moral responsibility and 'tender consideration for the Creatures of God'. Anna Sewell was a kind and generous woman whose great love for horses and desire to see them better treated resulted in the most celebrated animal story of the nineteenth century. ![]() ![]() ![]() See also: Arete, Aretology, Hospitium, and Paideia Platonic virtue The word virtue "was borrowed into English in the 13th century". The French words vertu and virtu came from this Latin root. The ancient Romans used the Latin word virtus (derived from vir, their word for man) to refer to all of the "excellent qualities of men, including physical strength, valorous conduct, and moral rectitude". Buddhism's four brahmavihara ("Divine States") can be regarded as virtues in the European sense. Other examples of this notion include the concept of merit in Asian traditions as well as De ( Chinese 德). The opposite of virtue is vice, and the vicious person takes pleasure in habitual wrong-doing until it destroys him or her. ![]() ![]() Such a person is said to be Virtuous through having cultivated the disposition. By taking pleasure in doing what is right, even when it is difficult or initially unpleasant, virtue becomes habitual. In human practical ethics, a virtue is a disposition to choose words and actions that are successful by showing high moral standards: doing what is right and avoiding what is wrong in a given field of endeavour. The cultivation and refinement of virtue is held to be the " good of humanity" and thus is valued as an end purpose of life or foundational principle of being.

![]() ![]() The Ugly Bird itself is a vicious buzzardlike companion with some strange connection to Onselm himself. ![]() ![]() In "O Ugly Bird!" John runs afoul of a vile little witch-man named Mr Onselm, who's terrorizing the honest farmers of a little town with his accomplice. Wellman has a masterful use of dialect, never overdone but always reflecting the mountain folks' traditional viewpoints, and he clearly loves the scenery and beauty of that area. ![]() He encounters a wide variety of odd phenomena, sometimes menacing and sometimes charming, and you never know how one of these stories is going to turn out. The John stories are told in the first person by a wandering minstrel who roams the mountains of North Carolina with not much more than the clothes he has on and a guitar strung with silver strings. Wellman later revived the character for some slim novelettes, but the short stories were collected into a 1964 Ballantine paperback, WHO FEARS THE DEVIL?, which is almost unbearably good. From the December 1951 issue of THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY ASCIENCE-FICTION, this was the first in a long series of John the Balladeer (sometimes called "Silver John")stories by Manly Wade Wellman that ran for over a dozen years in that magazine. ![]() |
