Ma ecco, questa carità perché avesse il valore che potesse renderla accetta a quella povera vecchia, non richiedeva forse qualcosa ch'egli non sentiva piú d'avere in sé? Che carità sarebbe stata il prezzo d'una messa, se per tutti gli stenti e i sacrifizii durati da quella vecchia per adempiere il voto, egli non avesse celebrato quella messa col piú sincero e acceso fervore? Una finzione indegna, per una elemosina di tre lire? E don Angelino, già parato, col calice in mano, si fermò un istante, incerto e oppresso d'angoscia, su la soglia della sagrestia a guardare nella chiesetta deserta; se gli conveniva, cosí senza fede, salire all'altare.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>

Egli ebbe in sé un terrore più profondo del primo tremito, perché quella irrisione gli rinfacciava il patto di morte. Ed era simile a colui che, per tentare un gioco terribile, si serve d'un istrumento micidiale e a un tratto s'accorge che questo lo trascina con una volontà cieca assai più potente della sua e che la sorte s'inverte perché egli non è omai se non una misera cosa trepidante avvinta a una veemenza indomabile. Bisognava dunque veramente morire? Non era più tempo d'indietreggiare? Bisognava adempiere il proposito e il patto?

Paolo Tarsis indugiò qualche attimo, prima di rimettersi in piedi. Dispensò dalla ricerca; ringraziò; uscì. Il mondo gli appariva come una cloaca immensa. Ogni bellezza, ogni gentilezza era distrutta. Il volto dell'Amore era osceno come quello d'un pagliaccio vinoso. Egli vedeva la divina Isabella Inghirami seduta tra il ruffiano e il sodomita, dinanzi a un bicchiere sudicio, nel Caffè male odorante. La parola di vituperio, il destino l'aveva raccolta per adempierla. (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)
