Then Her Envious Heart Had Peace

This line comes from "Snow White" (Schneewittchen) in the Grimms' Kinder- und Hausmärchen. After Snow White is revived and marries the prince, the Evil Queen — her stepmother — is forced to attend the wedding and dance in red-hot iron shoes until she dies. The Grimms' tale ends not with simple triumph but with this darkly ironic observation about the limits of envy's resolution: even its extinguishing is conditional on what an envious heart is capable of bearing.
