Read the Passage from “The Black Cat”
One morning, in cool blood, I slipped a noose about its
neck and hung it to the limb of a tree; - hung it with the
tears streaming from my eyes, and with the bitterest
remorse at my heart; – hung it because I knew that it had
offence; - hung it because I knew that in so doing I was
committing a sin - a deadly sin that would so jeopardize
my immortal soul as to place it - if such a thing were
possible - even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of
the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.
