Flora-

You think that because I am poor and plain, I have no feelings?你以为我一贫如洗， 长相平庸就没有感情吗？I promise you, 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.告诉你吧，如果是上帝赐予我财富和美貌，我会让你难以离开我，就像现在我难以离开你一样。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 gave, and we stood at God's feet, equal——as we are!今天我以平等的灵魂站在你面前，抛除陈规旧俗、抛除身份尊卑，我的灵魂仍然能同你的灵魂对话，仿佛我们穿越生死，站在上帝脚下，彼此平等。I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you.我是一个有独立意志的自由人，现在我自愿离开你。02I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do.如果我的自尊和外在现实不能融合，我可以不结婚而独自生活。I need not sell my soul to buy bliss.我绝不违背自己的良心来换取富贵的生活。I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.如果外在的欢娱需要我以内心不可承受
