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,noreven of mortalflesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit,just as it both had pessed 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！
