86.
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! '
如果上帝赐予我财富和美貌,我会使你难于离开我,就像现在我难于离开你。上帝没有这
么做,而我们的灵魂是平等的,就仿佛我们两人穿过坟墓,站在上帝脚下,彼此平等——
本来就如此!”----《Jane Eyre》(《简爱》)
