Para el obispo, la vista de la guillotina fue un golpe terrible del cual tardÃ³ mucho tiempo en reponerse. En efecto: el patÃbulo, cuando estÃ¡ ante nuestros ojos levantado, derecho, tiene algo que alucina. Se puede sentir cierta indiferencia hacia la pena de muerte, no pronunciarse ni en pro ni en contra, no decir ni sÃ ni que no mientras no se ha visto una guillotina; pero si se llega a ver una, la sacudida es violenta; es menester decidirse y tomar partido en pro o en contra de ella. Los unos admiran, como De Maistre; los otros execran, como Beccaria. La guillotina es la concreciÃ³n de la ley: se llama 'vindicta'; no es indiferente ni os permite que lo seÃ¡is tampoco. Quien llega a verla se estremece con el mÃ¡s misterioso de los estremecimientos. Todas las cuestiones sociales alzan sus interrogantes en torno de aquella cuchilla. El cadalso es una visiÃ³n: no es un tablado ni una mÃ¡quina, ni un mecanismo frÃo de madera, de hierro y de cuerdas. Parece que es una especie de ser que tiene no sÃ© quÃ© sombrÃa iniciativa. Se dirÃa que aquellos andamios ven, que aquella madera, aquel hierro y aquellas cuerdas tienen voluntad. En la horrible meditaciÃ³n en que aquella vista sume al alma, el patÃbulo aparece terrible y como teniendo conciencia de lo que hace. El patÃbulo es el cÃ³mplice del verdugo; devora, come carne, bebe sangre. Es una especie de monstruo fabricado por el juez y por el carpintero; un espectro que parece vivir una especie de vida espantosa, hecha con todas las muertes que ha dado.
