People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that's all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.
La gent parla de vegades d'una crueltat bestial, però això és una gran injustícia i insult a les bèsties; una bèstia mai pot ser tan cruel com un home, tan artísticament cruel. El tigre només plora i rosega, això és tot el que pot fer. Mai pensaria en clavar la gent per les orelles, encara que pogués fer-ho.
