Such bloody sophisms, uttered with conviction and coolness, overwhelmed the youth, weakened as he was by more than three monthsin prison and blinded by his passion for revenge, so he was not in a mood to analyze the moral basis of the matter. Insteadof replying that the worst and cowardliest of men is always something more than a plant, because he has a soul and an intelligence,which, however vitiated and brutalized they may be, can be redeemed; instead of replying that man has no right to disposeof one life for the benefit of another, that the right to life is inherent in every individual like the right to liberty andto [318]light; instead of replying that if it is an abuse on the part of governments to punish in a culprit the faults and crimesto which they have driven him by their own negligence or stupidity, how much more so would it be in a man, however great andhowever unfortunate he might be, to punish in a wretched people the faults of its governments and its ancestors; instead ofdeclaring that God alone can use such methods, that God can destroy because He can create, God who holds in His hands recompense,eternity, and the future, to justify His acts, and man never; instead of these reflections, Basilio merely interposed a cantreflection.
