Weak-eyed devil

TBogg, in quoting from Heart of Darkness, which was quoted in a review of The Plot Against America, drew a very astute connection (click on the link below to see the connection):

"I've seen the devil of violence and the devil of greed and the devil of hot desire. ... But as I stood on that hillside, I foresaw that in the blinding sunshine of that land, I would become acquainted with a flabby, pretending weak-eyed devil of a rapacious and pitiless folly."

Nice.
