Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? 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! --Jane Eyre 你以为我穷，不好看，就没有感情吗？我也会的！如果上帝赋予我财富和美貌，我一定会使你难于离开我，就象现在我难于离开你。上帝没有这样！但我们的精神是同等的，就如同你跟我经过坟墓，将同样地站在上帝面前。 ——简爱 |
