“到我身边来--完完全全过来。”他说，
and added, in his deepest tone, speaking in my ear as his cheek was laid on mine,

"God pardon me!" he subjoined ere long; "and man meddle not with me: I have her, and will hold her."
“上帝呀，宽恕我吧！”他不久又添了一句，“还有人呀，别干涉我，我得到了她，我要紧紧抓住她。”

but, sitting by him, roused from the nightmare of parting -- called to the paradise of union

Is there not love in my heart, and constancy in my resolves?

It will expiate at God's tribunal. I know my Maker sanctions what I do.
那一切会在上帝的法庭上得到赎罪。我知道造物主会准许我的所作所为。
For the world's judgment -- I wash my hands thereof. For man's opinion -- I defy it."
至于世间的评判--我不去理睬。别人的意见--我断然拒绝。”
