A Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe

The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitively settled - but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved, precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.

It must be understood, that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.

He had a weak point - this Fortunato - although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. He prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. Few Italians have the true virtuoso spirit. For the most part their enthusiasm is adopted to suit the time and opportunity - to practice imposture upon the British and Austrian millionaires. In painting and gemmary, Fortunato, like his countrymen , was a quack - but in the matter of old wines he was sincere. In this respect I did not differ from him materially : I was skilful in the Italian vintages myself, and bought largely whenever I could.

It was about dusk, one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season, that I encountered my friend. He accosted me with excessive warmth, for he had been drinking much. The man wore motley. He had on a tightly-fitting party-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells. I was so pleased to see him, that I thought I should never have done wringing his hand.

I said to him, "My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met. How remarkably well you are looking today! But I have received a pipe of what passes for Amontillado, and I have my doubts." "How ?" said he.

"Amontillado ? A pipe ? Impossible ! And in the middle of the carnival!" "I have my doubts," I replied; "and I was silly enough to pay the full Amontillado price without consulting you in the matter. You were not to be found, and I was fearful of losing a bargain." "Amontillado!" "I have my doubts." "Amontillado!" "And I must satisfy them." "Amontillado!" "As you are engaged, I am on my way to Luchesi. If any one has a critical turn, it is he. He will tell me." "Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry." "And yet some fools will have it that his taste is a match for your own." "Come, let us go." "Whither?" "To your vaults." "My friend, no ; I will not impose upon your good nature. I perceive you have an engagement. Luchesi --" "I have no engagement. Come." "My friend, no. It is not the engagement, but the severe cold with which I perceive you are afflicted. The vaults are insufferably damp. They are encrusted with nitre." "Let us go, nevertheless. The cold is merely nothing. Amontillado! You have been imposed upon. And as for Luchesi, he cannot distinguish Sherry from Amontillado." Thus speaking, Fortunato possessed himself of my arm. Putting on a mask of black silk, and drawing a roquelaire closely about my person, I suffered him to hurry me to my palazzo.

There were no attendants at home; they had absconded to make merry in honor of the time. I had told them that I should not return until the morning, and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house. These orders were sufficient, I well knew, to insure their immediate disappearance, one and all, as soon as my back was turned.

I took from their sconces two flambeaux, and giving one to Fortunato, bowed him through several suites of rooms to the archway that led into the vaults. I passed down a long and winding staircase, requesting him to be cautious as he followed. We came at length to the foot of the descent, and stood together on the damp ground of the catacombs of the Montresors.

The gait of my friend was unsteady, and the bells upon his cap jingled as he strode.

"The pipe?" said he.

"It is farther on," said I, "but observe the white web-work which gleams from these cavern walls." He turned towards me, and looked into my eyes with two filmy orbs that distilled the rheum of intoxication.

"Nitre?" he asked, at length.

"Nitre." I replied.

"How long have you had that cough ?" "Ugh-agh-agh! - Ugh-agh-agh! - Ugh-agh-agh! - Ugh-agh-agh! "Ugh-agh-agh!" My poor friend found it impossible to reply for many minutes.

"It is nothing," he said, at last. "Come," I said, with decision, "we will go back ; your health is precious. You are rich, respected, admired, beloved ; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed. For me it is no matter. We will go back; you will be ill, and I cannot be responsible. Besides, there is Luchesi --" "Enough," he said ; "the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough." "True - true," I replied ; "and, indeed, I had no intention of alarming you unnecessarily - but you should use all proper caution. A draught of this Medoc will defend us from the damps." Here I knocked off the neck of a bottle which I drew from a long row of its fellows that lay upon the mould.

"Drink," I said, presenting him the wine. He raised it to his lips with a leer. He paused and nodded to me familiarly, while his bells jingled.

"I drink," he said, "to the buried that repose around us." "And I to your long life." He again took my arm, and we proceeded.

"These vaults," he said, "are extensive." "The Montresors," I replied, "were a great and numerous family." "I forget your arms." "A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure ; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel." "And the motto?" "Nemo me impune lacessit." "Good !" he said.

"The nitre!" I said, "see, it increases. It hangs like moss upon the vaults. We are below the river's bed. The drops of moisture trickle among the bones. Come, we will go back here it is too late. Your cough!" "It is nothing," he said ; "let us go on. But first, another draught of the Medoc." I broke and reached him a flagon of De Grâve. He emptied it at a breath. His eyes flashed with a fierce light. He laughed and threw the bottle upwards with a gesticulation I did not understand.

I looked at him in surprise. He repeated the movement - a grotesque one.

"You do not comprehend ?" he said.

"Not I," I replied. "Then you are not of the brotherhood." "How ?" "You are not of the masons." "Yes, yes," I said, "yes, yes." "You? Impossible A mason ?" "A mason," I replied. "A sign," he said. "It is this," I answered, producing a trowel from beneath the folds of my roquelaire. "You jest," he exclaimed, recoiling a few paces. "But let us proceed to the Amontillado." "Be it so," I said, replacing the tool beneath the cloak, and again offering him my arm. He leaned upon it heavily. We continued our route in search of the Amontillado. We passed through the range of low arches, descended, passed on, and descending again, arrived at a deep crypt, in which the foulness of the air caused the flambeaux rather to glow than flame.

It was in vain that Fortunato, uplifting his dull torch, endeavored to pry into the depths of the recess. Its termination the feeble light did not enable us to see.

"Proceed," I said ; "herein is the Amontillado. As for Luchesi --" "He is an ignoramus," interrupted my friend, as he stepped unsteadily forward, while I followed immediately at his heels. In an instant he had reached the extremity of the niche, and finding his progress arrested by the rock, stood stupidly bewildered.

A moment more and I had fettered him to the granite. In its surface were two iron staples, distant from each other about two feet, horizontally. From one of these depended a short chain, from the other a padlock. Throwing the links about his waist, it was but the work of a few seconds to secure it. He was too much astounded to resist. Withdrawing the key I stepped back from the recess.

"Pass your hand," I said, "over the wall; you cannot help feeling the nitre. Indeed it is very damp. Once more let me implore you to return. No? Then I must positively leave you. But I must first render you all the little attentions in my power." "The Amontillado!" ejaculated my friend, not yet recovered from his astonishment.

"True," I replied, "the Amontillado." As I said these words I busied myself among the pile of bones of which I have before spoken. Throwing them aside, I soon uncovered a quantity of building stone and mortar. With these materials and with the aid of my trowel, I began vigorously to wall up the entrance of the niche.

I had scarcely laid the first tier of my masonry when I discovered that the intoxication of Fortunato had in a great measure worn off. The earliest indication I had of this was a low moaning cry from the depth of the recess. It was not the cry of a drunken man. There was then a long and obstinate silence. I laid the second tier, and the third, and the fourth; and then I heard the furious vibrations of the chain. The noise lasted for several minutes, during which, that I might hearken to it with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labors and sat down upon the bones.

When at last the clanking subsided, I resumed the trowel, and finished without interruption the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh tier. The wall was now nearly upon a level with my breast. I again paused, and holding the flambeaux over the mason-work, threw a few feeble rays upon the figure within.

A succession of loud and shrill screams, bursting suddenly from the throat of the chained form, seemed to thrust me violently back. For a brief moment I hesitated - I trembled. Unsheathing my rapier, I began to grope with it about the recess, but the thought of an instant reassured me. I placed my hand upon the solid fabric of the catacombs, and felt satisfied. I reapproached the wall. I replied to the yells of him who clamored. I re-echoed - I aided - I surpassed them in volume and in strength. I did this, and the clamorer grew still.

It was now midnight, and my task was drawing to a close. I had completed the eighth, the ninth, and the tenth tier. I had finished a portion of the last and the eleventh; there remained but a single stone to be fitted and plastered in. I struggled with its weight ; I placed it partially in its destined position. But now there came from out the niche a low laugh that erected the hairs upon my head. It was succeeded by a sad voice, which I had difficulty in recognizing as that of the noble Fortunato. The voice said -

"Ha ! ha ! ha ! - he ! he ! - a very good joke indeed - an excellent jest. We will have many a rich laugh about it at the palazzo - ha ! ha! he! he! - over our wine - he ! he ! he !" "The Amontillado !" I said.

"Hee hee hee-hee! Hee hee! Yes, the Amontillado. But is it not getting late? Will not they be awaiting us at the palazzo, the Lady Fortunato and the rest? Let us be gone." "Yes," I said, "let us be gone." "For the love of God, Montressor!" "Yes," I said, "for the love of God !" But to these words I hearkened in vain for a reply. I grew impatient. I called aloud -

"Fortunato!" No answer. I called again -

"Fortunato!" No answer still. I thrust a torch through the remaining aperture and let it fall within. There came forth in return only a jingling of the bells. My heart grew sick - on account of the dampness of the catacombs. I hastened to make an end of my labor. I forced the last stone into its position, I plastered it up. Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them.

We will go back; you will be ill, and I cannot be responsible. Volveremos; estarás enfermo y no puedo ser responsable. 我們會回去；你會生病，我不能負責。 Besides, there is Luchesi --" Además, está Luchesi... "Enough," he said ; "the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. "Basta", dijo; "La tos es una mera nada; no me matará. 「夠了，」他說。「咳嗽算不了什麼；它不會要我的命。 I shall not die of a cough." No moriré de tos". "True - true," I replied ; "and, indeed, I had no intention of alarming you unnecessarily - but you should use all proper caution. 「真的——真的，」我回答。「事實上，我無意讓你感到不必要的恐慌——但你應該謹慎行事。 A draught of this Medoc will defend us from the damps." Una corriente de este Médoc nos defenderá de las humedades. 喝一杯梅多克酒就能讓我們免受潮濕的侵襲。” Here I knocked off the neck of a bottle which I drew from a long row of its fellows that lay upon the mould. Aquí rompí el cuello de una botella que saqué de una larga fila de sus compañeros que yacían sobre el molde. 在這裡，我敲掉了一個瓶子的瓶頸，這是我從模具上一長排瓶中取出的。

"Drink," I said, presenting him the wine. 「喝吧，」我說，把酒遞給他。 He raised it to his lips with a leer. Se lo llevó a los labios con una mirada lasciva. 他帶著一抹斜視將它舉到唇邊。 He paused and nodded to me familiarly, while his bells jingled. 他停了下來，熟悉地向我點點頭，同時他的鈴鐺叮噹作響。

"I drink," he said, "to the buried that repose around us." "Yo bebo", dijo, "a los enterrados que reposan a nuestro alrededor". 「我為我們周圍的埋葬者乾杯，」他說。 "And I to your long life." "Y yo a tu larga vida". “我也祝你長壽。” He again took my arm, and we proceeded. 他再次握住我的手臂，我們繼續前進。

"These vaults," he said, "are extensive." "The Montresors," I replied, "were a great and numerous family." "I forget your arms." "Olvidé tus brazos." "A huge human foot d’or, in a field azure ; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel." "Un enorme pie de oro humano, en un campo azul; el pie aplasta a una serpiente rampante cuyos colmillos están incrustados en el talón". «Огромная человеческая нога d'or в лазурном поле; ступня давит свирепую змею, чьи клыки вонзились в пятку». 「一隻巨大的人類金足，在蔚藍的田野上；腳踩碎了一條毒牙嵌在腳後跟裡的猖獗的蛇。」 "And the motto?" "Nemo me impune lacessit." "Nemo me impune lacessit". “尼莫，我不受懲罰。” "Good !" he said.

The wine sparkled in his eyes and the bells jingled. My own fancy grew warm with the Medoc, and we passed through walls of piled bones, with casks and puncheons intermingling, into the inmost recesses of the catacombs. Mi propia fantasía se calentó con el Médoc, y atravesamos paredes de huesos apilados, con toneles y punzones entremezclados, hasta los rincones más recónditos de las catacumbas. 我自己的幻想隨著梅多克而變得溫暖，我們穿過堆滿骨頭的牆壁，木桶和酒桶混雜在一起，進入地下墓穴的最深處。 I paused again, and this time I made bold to seize Fortunato by an arm above the elbow. Volví a hacer una pausa, y esta vez me atreví a agarrar a Fortunato por un brazo por encima del codo. 我再次停了下來，這次我大膽地抓住了福爾圖納託的胳膊肘上方。

"The nitre!" "¡El nitro!" I said, "see, it increases. It hangs like moss upon the vaults. Cuelga como musgo sobre las bóvedas. We are below the river’s bed. Estamos debajo del lecho del río. The drops of moisture trickle among the bones. Las gotas de humedad se escurren entre los huesos. 水滴在骨頭之間滴落。 Come, we will go back here it is too late. Ven, volveremos aquí es demasiado tarde. Your cough!" ¡Tu tos!" "It is nothing," he said ; "let us go on. "No es nada", dijo; "Sigamos adelante. But first, another draught of the Medoc." Pero primero, otro trago del Medoc. I broke and reached him a flagon of De Grâve. Rompí y le alcancé una jarra de De Grâve. 我打破並遞給他一壺德格雷夫酒。 He emptied it at a breath. Lo vació de un suspiro. His eyes flashed with a fierce light. Sus ojos brillaron con una luz feroz. He laughed and threw the bottle upwards with a gesticulation I did not understand. Se rió y tiró la botella hacia arriba con un gesto que no entendí. 他笑著把瓶子向上扔了出去，做了一個我聽不懂的手勢。

I looked at him in surprise. Lo miré con sorpresa. He repeated the movement - a grotesque one. Repitió el movimiento, uno grotesco.

"You do not comprehend ?" he said.

"Not I," I replied. "Then you are not of the brotherhood." "Entonces no eres de la hermandad". “那你就不是兄弟會的人了。” "How ?" "You are not of the masons." "Yes, yes," I said, "yes, yes." "You? Impossible A mason ?" Imposible ¿Un albañil?" "A mason," I replied. "A sign," he said. "It is this," I answered, producing a trowel from beneath the folds of my roquelaire. "Es esto", respondí, sacando una paleta de debajo de los pliegues de mi roquelaire. 「就是這個，」我回答道，從我的羅克萊爾刀的褶皺下面拿出一把抹子。 "You jest," he exclaimed, recoiling a few paces. "Bromeas", exclamó, retrocediendo unos pasos. 「你開玩笑，」他喊道，後退了幾步。 "But let us proceed to the Amontillado." "Be it so," I said, replacing the tool beneath the cloak, and again offering him my arm. "Que así sea", dije, colocando la herramienta debajo de la capa y ofreciéndole de nuevo mi brazo. He leaned upon it heavily. Se apoyó pesadamente en él. We continued our route in search of the Amontillado. Continuamos nuestra ruta en busca del Amontillado. We passed through the range of low arches, descended, passed on, and descending again, arrived at a deep crypt, in which the foulness of the air caused the flambeaux rather to glow than flame.

At the most remote end of the crypt there appeared another less spacious. Its walls had been lined with human remains, piled to the vault overhead, in the fashion of the great catacombs of Paris. Three sides of this interior crypt were still ornamented in this manner. From the fourth the bones had been thrown down, and lay promiscuously upon the earth, forming at one point a mound of some size. Desde el cuarto, los huesos habían sido arrojados y yacían promiscuamente sobre la tierra, formando en un punto un montículo de cierto tamaño. Within the wall thus exposed by the displacing of the bones, we perceived a still interior recess, in depth about four feet, in width three, in height six or seven. Dentro de la pared así expuesta por el desplazamiento de los huesos, percibimos un hueco interior inmóvil, de unos cuatro pies de profundidad, tres de ancho, seis o siete de alto. В стене, таким образом обнажившейся благодаря смещению костей, мы увидели глубокую внутреннюю нишу глубиной около четырех футов, шириной три и высотой шесть или семь. It seemed to have been constructed for no especial use in itself, but formed merely the interval between two of the colossal supports of the roof of the catacombs, and was backed by one of their circumscribing walls of solid granite.

It was in vain that Fortunato, uplifting his dull torch, endeavored to pry into the depths of the recess. Fue en vano que Fortunato, alzando su antorcha sin brillo, se esforzó por curiosear en las profundidades del nicho. Its termination the feeble light did not enable us to see. Su terminación la débil luz no nos permitió ver.

"Proceed," I said ; "herein is the Amontillado. "Proceda", le dije; "Aquí está el Amontillado. As for Luchesi --" "He is an ignoramus," interrupted my friend, as he stepped unsteadily forward, while I followed immediately at his heels. 「彼は無知なんだ」と私の友人が口を挟んだ。 In an instant he had reached the extremity of the niche, and finding his progress arrested by the rock, stood stupidly bewildered. En un instante había llegado al extremo del nicho, y al ver que la roca detenía su avance, se quedó estúpidamente desconcertado.

A moment more and I had fettered him to the granite. Un momento más y lo había encadenado al granito. In its surface were two iron staples, distant from each other about two feet, horizontally. En su superficie había dos grapas de hierro, distantes entre sí unos dos pies, en forma horizontal. From one of these depended a short chain, from the other a padlock. De uno de ellos pendía una cadena corta, del otro un candado. Throwing the links about his waist, it was but the work of a few seconds to secure it. Lanzando los eslabones alrededor de su cintura, fue solo el trabajo de unos segundos asegurarlo. He was too much astounded to resist. Withdrawing the key I stepped back from the recess.

"Pass your hand," I said, "over the wall; you cannot help feeling the nitre. —Pase la mano —dije— por encima del muro; no podrá evitar sentir el salitre. Indeed it is very damp. De hecho, es muy húmedo. Once more let me implore you to return. No? Then I must positively leave you. Entonces debo dejarte definitivamente. But I must first render you all the little attentions in my power." Pero antes debo prestarte todas las pequeñas atenciones que estén en mi poder. "The Amontillado!" ejaculated my friend, not yet recovered from his astonishment. exclamó mi amigo, aún no recuperado de su asombro.

I had scarcely laid the first tier of my masonry when I discovered that the intoxication of Fortunato had in a great measure worn off. Apenas había colocado la primera hilera de mi mampostería cuando descubrí que la embriaguez de Fortunato se había disipado en gran medida. The earliest indication I had of this was a low moaning cry from the depth of the recess. It was not the cry of a drunken man. There was then a long and obstinate silence. I laid the second tier, and the third, and the fourth; and then I heard the furious vibrations of the chain. The noise lasted for several minutes, during which, that I might hearken to it with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labors and sat down upon the bones. El ruido duró varios minutos, durante los cuales, para poder escucharlo con mayor satisfacción, cesé en mis labores y me senté sobre los huesos.

When at last the clanking subsided, I resumed the trowel, and finished without interruption the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh tier. Cuando por fin cesó el ruido metálico, reanudé la paleta y terminé sin interrupción la quinta, la sexta y la séptima hileras. The wall was now nearly upon a level with my breast. I again paused, and holding the flambeaux over the mason-work, threw a few feeble rays upon the figure within. Volví a hacer una pausa y, sosteniendo los flambeaux sobre la obra de albañilería, arrojé unos débiles rayos sobre la figura que había dentro.

A succession of loud and shrill screams, bursting suddenly from the throat of the chained form, seemed to thrust me violently back. Una sucesión de gritos fuertes y estridentes, que brotaron repentinamente de la garganta de la forma encadenada, pareció empujarme violentamente hacia atrás. For a brief moment I hesitated - I trembled. Unsheathing my rapier, I began to grope with it about the recess, but the thought of an instant reassured me. I placed my hand upon the solid fabric of the catacombs, and felt satisfied. I reapproached the wall. Me acerqué a la pared. I replied to the yells of him who clamored. Respondí a los gritos del que clamaba. I re-echoed - I aided - I surpassed them in volume and in strength. Repetí - ayudé - los superé en volumen y en fuerza. I did this, and the clamorer grew still. Hice esto, y el clamor se aquietó.

It was now midnight, and my task was drawing to a close. Ahora era medianoche, y mi tarea estaba llegando a su fin. I had completed the eighth, the ninth, and the tenth tier. I had finished a portion of the last and the eleventh; there remained but a single stone to be fitted and plastered in. Había terminado una parte del último y del undécimo; sólo quedaba una piedra para colocar y enlucir. I struggled with its weight ; I placed it partially in its destined position. But now there came from out the niche a low laugh that erected the hairs upon my head. It was succeeded by a sad voice, which I had difficulty in recognizing as that of the noble Fortunato. The voice said -

"Ha ! ha ! ha ! - he ! he ! - a very good joke indeed - an excellent jest. - un chiste muy bueno en verdad - un chiste excelente. We will have many a rich laugh about it at the palazzo - ha ! ha! he! he! - over our wine - he ! he ! he !" "The Amontillado !" I said.

"Hee hee hee-hee! Hee hee! Yes, the Amontillado. But is it not getting late? ¿Pero no se está haciendo tarde? Will not they be awaiting us at the palazzo, the Lady Fortunato and the rest? Let us be gone." Vámonos". "Yes," I said, "let us be gone." "For the love of God, Montressor!" "Yes," I said, "for the love of God !" But to these words I hearkened in vain for a reply. Pero a estas palabras escuché en vano una respuesta. I grew impatient. I called aloud -

"Fortunato!" No answer. I called again -

"Fortunato!" No answer still. I thrust a torch through the remaining aperture and let it fall within. Empujé una antorcha a través de la abertura restante y la dejé caer dentro. Я просунул факел в оставшееся отверстие и позволил ему упасть внутрь. There came forth in return only a jingling of the bells. В ответ раздался лишь звон колокольчиков. My heart grew sick - on account of the dampness of the catacombs. Mi corazón se enfermó a causa de la humedad de las catacumbas. I hastened to make an end of my labor. I forced the last stone into its position, I plastered it up. Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. Contra la nueva mampostería, volví a erigir la antigua muralla de huesos. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them.
