Since the time the child was sent to me and I’ve come to love her as myself, I’ve had light enough to trusten by; and now she says she’ll never leave me, I think I shall trusten till I die.
自从这孩子来到我身边,我爱她如同爱自己,我就有了足以凭借的光,能够心怀信赖;如今她说永远不会离开我,我想,这份信赖会伴我直到生命尽头。
— George Eliot · Silas Marner · Chapter XXI —
