"It is a thousand pities," said Candide, "that the sage Pangloss should have been hanged contrary to the custom of an auto-da-fe, for he would have given us a most admirable lecture on the moral and physical evil which overspreads the earth and sea; and I think I should have courage enough to presume to offer (with all due respect) some few objections."
¡Qué lástima es, decia Candido, que hayan ahorcado, contra lo que es práctica, al sabio Panglós en un auto de fe! Cosas maravillosas nos diria cerca del mal físico, y del mal moral, que cubren mares y tierras, y yo tuviera valor para hacerle con mucho respeto algunos reparillos.
