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
loved me, and because I felt it had given me no reason of
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.
