If man clearly discerned his own nature, his imagination would remain idle, and would have nothing to add to the picture.

She is old now. Her hair is white and smoothly banded. Each day she sits at the door and gazes longingly down the dusty road. In spirit she is waiting there at the gate, just as he left her--his forever, but not here below. Yes; my belief in woman paints that picture in my mind. Parted forever on earth, but waiting!英文原著 · 《Heart of the West》
