Homily X. is against the angry.  Section 2 contains a description of the outward appearance of the angry men.  “About the heart of those who are eager to requite evil for evil, the blood boils as though it were stirred and sputtering by the force of fire.  On the surface it breaks out and shews the angry man in other form, familiar and well known to all, as though it were changing a mask upon the stage.  The proper and usual eyes of the angry man are recognized no more; his gaze is unsteady, and fires up in a moment.  He whets his teeth like boars joining battle.  His countenance is livid and suffused with blood.  His body seems to swell.  His veins are ruptured, as his breath struggles under the storm within.  His voice is rough and strained.  His speech—broken and falling from him at random—proceeds without distinction, without arrangement, and without meaning.  When he is roused by those who are irritating him, like a flame with plenty of fuel, to an inextinguishable pitch, then, ah! then indeed the spectacle is indescribable and unendurable.  See the hands lifted against his fellows, and attacking every part of their bodies; see the feet jumping without restraint on dangerous parts.  See whatever comes to hand turned into a weapon for his mad frenzy.  The record of the progress from words to wounds recalls familiar lines which probably Basil never read. Jurgia proludunt; sed mox et pocula torques Saucius, et rubra deterges vulnera mappa. Juv., Sat. v. 26.  Rage rouses strife; strife begets abuse; abuse, blows; blows, wounds; and from wounds often comes death.”
