Do you think,because I am poor,obscure,plain,and little,I am soulless and heartless?你以为我穷、卑微、普通、渺小,就没有灵魂没有感情了吗?
You think wrong!你想错了!
I have as much soul as you,-- and full as much heart!我和你一样有灵魂,一样多的感情.
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.如果上帝赋予我美貌和财富,我一定要使你难以离开我 ,就像现在我难以离开你.
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东西跟你说话,也不是用我的肉体跟你说话,是我的灵魂在向你的灵魂呼唤,就如同你跟我经过坟墓,同样站在上帝面前,就像现在的我们!
