Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! 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. 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!
你以為我窮，不好看，就沒有感情嗎？我也會的。如果上帝賦予我財富和美貌，我一定會使你難以離開我，就像現在我難以離開你一樣，我們的精神是同等的，就如同你跟我經過墳墓將同樣地站在上帝麵前。
