At one night before Christmas Day, the large stretch of snow
flake flutters in the sky, in a church of the suburbs of New York,
there is light that is appeared.
The hoary-headed old
pastor has already presided over three weddings in the daytime,
also the last pair of newlyweds stands in front of him now. Very
few relatives of both sides behind them.
Bride and bridegroom are
simple in clothes, it is that kind of rich strata of life to know
at one sight, but they are graceful, can find out that receive too
good education.
The old pastor has been
already tired, he wishes eagerly to finish this ordinary wedding
early, in order to go to bed and have a rest early. The succinct
ceremony is carried on very smoothly, young bride and bridegroom
are taking the solemnity of a face, even can say, have a little to
be grieved, in silence everybody's " manipulates ", compared with
that seething with joy scene of three weddings in daytime far
different. "Obviously they are tired too. "it is old for
pastor expect, is it again in he wear it presbyopic glasses,
routine business to begin there aren't the wedding per piece:" Mr.
Morris, do you love your new wife? " " I .... I can't affirm. "The
calm bridegroom says a word like this hesitating, the relatives and
the pastors all quiet down, they obviously feel shocked about the
bridegroom's answer. The pastor notices the dignified bride is
seized with terror, but return to normal soon, still look at the
front not looking sideways.
Bridegroom has broken
quietly. "I do not know whether to love her oneself or not, I
only know she loves me wholeheartedly, and I have been holding the
feeling of a kind of unparalleled attachment to her all the time.
From side one to see her, I know, will fasten with her together in
my remaining years, we will take and hold and pass by all days left
in all one's life together. I was a child heavily dependent on
parents as a child, waited for me to grow up, besides my parents,
that emotion of mine is explored on her body out, even if we have
transient separation, but my heart is substantial, she knits the
brows to smile at, every gesture seems to be still at my side, I
can imagine, want, lose she what sample life of me can turn into
really. I remember we person who share weal and woe those days
spent when being just out of university clearly still, I area go
out one weariness got to look for a job with depressed while coming
back, she will carry out a bread that only leave, lay she had
already eaten and let me enjoy alone; Certainly I remember having
no money to buy the top-grade clothes and expensive jewelry for her
oneself too, but she puts up with grace in the shabby clothes; She
give a piggyback I go out, give hotel carry plate wash bowl, come
back home, it comes to be but still strong to prop up smiling face
deceive I find idle work of family education on rich household. I
know I thank she her to all favor me grant only, I only know I will
struggle hard for her with the lifetime behind me, I only hope not
to let her go through those arduous days in the past again again,
needn't worry for the rent electric rate and bread of tomorrow,
needn't stand those berating and supercilious look that we once
submitted to humiliation for its again. I do not know this kind of
emotion of mine compares her saying whether the qualification has
been named the love, I only know for love that I throw into to her,
the emotion of mine is too negligible, I say I only know she loves
me, do not know whether I am loving her. "
All people are reticent.
The dignified and gentle and beautiful bride is accumulating the
sparkling and crystal-clear tears in the eyes, but she makes great
efforts to restrain and does not allow them to fall out, she is
closing the goodlooking corner of the mouth, beautiful chin
convulsion tightly.
It is that a pastor has
broken the silence this time, he turns the face to the bride
slowly: "Honourable Miss, excuse me, do you love Mr. Morris? " " I
... Do not know either. " her clear throat, continue going on, " I
only know too he loves me. Though he can't buy the car, villa and
top-grade dress for me, my aspiration up till now has still been to
pass jackets and eat carefree life, but he is the most competent
and most irreplaceable in my mind. We have no car to ride instead
of walk, but we let me feel happy like in the paradise carrying
knapsack outing together; It have full dresses top-grade,it can
participate in luxurious banquet and salon, we together during
humble room we and piano music that releive, while dancing, but let
me think we are most noble princess and prince in this world; We
can only eat bread and boiled water sometimes, when we order the
candle and sit down and take, that kind of ambience more luxurious
than any candle light dinner, I know we are still very poor now,
but on I remember last Valentine's Day, that proud and naughty look
when he passed me a red rose, but who knows again, in order to buy
the last rose dealt with in the florist shop, he has stood in the
cold wind outside the shop for two hours totally pinching only 50
cents. We are very poor, but we have pure emotions here, I believe
the ability according to him, we will live a happy life some day.
I, in order to let him know whether this is that one kind love, I
do not know that express this kind of emotion yet enough in this
word. "
The bride had one's face
covered with tears already after finishing saying, the church hall
becomes quiet again. The old pastor has not spoken this time, the
top of the head that he crossed everybody is looked at to the gate,
but somewhere of the picture beyond looking at the gate.
Outside the room, when
snow has wondered to stop, a scene of silvery white of earth. " the
god loves common people "'s melody of accompaniment of organ comes
at a distance, the tender child's voice is repeating the last
sentence gently, "let love bury bottom of heart forever, let love
bury bottom of heart forever. "
The moon comes out from
the cloud, shed the silent silver brightness on this stretch of
holy and pure land
