"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!"
“你以为我会留下来，成为对你无足轻重的人吗？你以为我是一架自动机器,一架没有感情的机器吗？能忍受着我的精神来源被别人从我的身上取走吗?虽然我贫穷、低微、不美丽，但当我们的灵魂穿过魂墓站在上帝面前时我们是平等的。我站在这里，并不是用习俗、惯例，甚至不是用凡人的肉体——而是用我的灵魂告诉你，我们是平等的！”
In the afternoon of that first seeing day. I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately to absorb in a few hours the vast splendor which is constantly unfolding itself to those who can see. On the way home from my woodland jaunt my path would lie near a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field 9perhaps I should see only a tractor!) and the serene content of men living close to the soil. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.
那能看见的第一天的下午，我要在树林里长久地散步，让我的目光陶醉在大自然世界的美景之中。在几个小时中，试图拼命地吸收那无穷的壮丽，这对那些能看见的人却是一条小路，这样我便能看到那驯良的马匹在犁田（或许，我该看见唯一的一台拖拉机！）看到贴近泥土生活的人们那安详的满足。而且，我该为艳丽的落日光辉而祈祷。
