I shall never forget my first sight of Mary Cavendish. Her tall, slender form, outlined against the bright light; the vivid sense of slumbering fire that seemed to find expression only in those wonderful tawny eyes of hers, remarkable eyes, different from any other woman’s that I have ever known; the intense power of stillness she possessed, which nevertheless conveyed the impression of a wild untamed spirit in an exquisitely civilized body – all these things are burnt into my memory. I shall never forget them.
我永远不会忘记第一眼看到玛丽·卡文迪什的情景。在明亮的灯光下，她那修长的身躯显得轮廓分明；那沉睡的火焰的生动感觉，似乎只表现在她那双奇妙的茶色眼睛里，那双不同于我所认识的任何别的女人的非凡的眼睛里；她所拥有的那种强烈的宁静的力量，尽管如此，却给人一种印象，那是一个野蛮的、未驯服的灵魂，藏在一个极其文明的身体里——所有这些都深深地烙在我的记忆里。我永远不会忘记他们。
