Also, he detested people who bought fast horses that they were unskilled to ride. Furthermore, he detested: recreational sailing vessels; surveyors; cheaply made shoes; French {the language, the food, the populace}; nervous clerks; tiny porcelain plates which broke in a man's damned hand; poetry {but not songs!}; the stooped backs of cowards; thieving sons of whores; a lying tongue; the sound of a violin; the army {any army}; tulips {"onions with airs!"}; blue jays; the drinking of coffee {"a damned, dirty Dutch habit!"};
