A Riddle for the Me Generation

A riddle for all you who love Twitter type and Facebook hype:

What relation to the Me Generation
Shares Narcissus that should warn us
Of vain-glory and sin's story?


ON AN UGLY FELLOW, by William Cowper

And self-detested thou would'st pine,
As self-enamoured he."

The clash broke out between Armenian and Greek Orthodox monks in Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Six Christian sects divide control of the ancient church. They regularly fight over turf and influence, and Israeli police occasionally intervene.
