Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little,I am soulless and heartless? 你以為我窮、卑微、普通、渺小,就沒有靈魂沒有感情了嗎?
You think wrong! 你想錯了!
I have as much soul as you, -- and full as much heart!我和你一樣有靈魂,一樣多的感情。
And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. 如果上帝賦予我美貌和財富,我一定要使你難以離開我 , 就像現在我難以離開你。
I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; it is my spirit that addresses your spirit;just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal, -- as we are! 我不在用世俗老套的東西跟你說話, 也不是用我的肉體跟你說話, 是我的靈魂在向你的靈魂呼喚, 就如同你跟我經過墳墓, 同樣站在上帝面前, 就像現在的我們!
