对罗切斯特的话中:“我现在跟你说话,并不是通过习俗、惯例,甚至不是通过凡人的肉体-而是我的精神在同你的精神说话;就像我们都经过了坟墓,站在上帝脚跟前,是平等的——因为我们是平等的。”
(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!)
