"Dear, dear Norland!" said Marianne, as she wandered alone before the house, on the last evening of their being there; "when shall I cease to regret you!--when learn to feel a home elsewhere!--Oh! happy house, could you know what I suffer in now viewing you from this spot, from whence perhaps I may view you no more!--And you, ye well-known trees!--but you will continue the same.--No leaf will decay because we are removed, nor any branch become motionless although we can observe you no longer!--No; you will continue the same; unconscious of the pleasure or the regret you occasion, and insensible of any change in those who walk under your shade!--But who will remain to enjoy you?"
Ninguna hoja se marchitará porque nosotras nos vayamos, ninguna rama dejará de agitarse aunque ya no podamos mirarlas. No, seguirán iguales, inconscientes del placer o la pena que ocasionan e insensibles a cualquier cambio en aquellos que caminan bajo sus sombras.
