Also known as "Marriage is the Grave of Love" Zhang Baotong 2016.7.4

In order to persuade Abelard, Eloise continued to persuade him, "It does not matter in itself whether a man gives up the study of philosophy altogether or interrupts it, for he will never stand still at that pause, and other practitioners will immediately take his place." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It is in vain for info to try to regulate his life from these two ways, because they can only be simply eliminated. This perception is not going to change. For example, those who love God among us are called true monks, while those who are zealous for wisdom and stand out from the crowd are called loyal philosophers. As the founder of philosophy, Pythagrass, he is said to be known as the Wise Man. But when he was asked about his profession, he replied that he was a philosopher. And before him, those who were regarded as distinguished and noble in terms of life were called wise men. This title makes one feel a little conceited, but it is not the same to be called a philosopher, because philosophers are called not because of their erudition, but because they live a noble life, sober and restrained. ”

"What shall you think of the layman and the Gentiles, who live outside this fashion without the bondage of religion? A priest and a canon do not allow you to choose basic preferences which are incompatible with the sacred profession, in order to prevent you from sinking under the temptation of such things, and to save you from shameless depravity and incorrigible filth. If you don't care about your privileges as a priest, at least preserve your dignity as a philosopher. If you despise the fear of God, consider your temper of disregard for fame and shame. Remember how Socrates was bound by his wife, and his sordid and ugly affair was a blot on the philosophical world. Others would be particularly cautious about this example of his behavior. St. Jerome thus referred to it and said, 'Once he was suffering from the storm that was against him, and this rainstorm was thrown upon him by a shrew, so that he suddenly found himself drenched in sewage, and he wiped his head, and said only, I know that after the thunder there will be a shower.' ’”

She quoted scriptures in this way, and spoke bitterly, to explain why she could not marry Abelard as his wife. Yes, human love is so simple, yet so complex. But she still insisted on this simple and essential love, and she preferred to be only Abelard's mistress rather than his wife, and thus resisted marriage. This god-like spirit of sacrifice and intuitive ability made her incomparably beautiful. Because she is too beautiful to be incompatible with reality. This is her tragic character and tragic fate.

Although everything she said was for his sake, she considered the problem from a different perspective than his. He explained to her again and again, "You know, I don't want us to be separated like this, and we won't see each other for a long time. I don't want you to be just my mistress, I want you to be my wife. Moreover, your uncle has promised to keep our marriage a secret. ”

Again, however, she warned him, "It is very dangerous for you to take me back to Paris." My uncle will not keep your covenant. She was already a little out of breath after a long time, but she continued, "It will be much sweeter than your wife to be called my mistress, and it will make me feel more honored." In this case, love will only make you turn towards me. The power of the bonds of marriage cannot limit us. Even if we will be separated by chance, our meeting will be sweeter and more precious because it is not easy to meet. ”

Abelard did not listen to her at all, but stubbornly said, "If we don't get married, you will be under the guardianship of your uncle, but I can't tolerate him continuing to control you, control our lives and love." And I don't want our children to be denied religious baptism because they are illegitimate children. ”

Baptism is a religious ritual performed by Christian recipients when they enter the Church, where water is dropped on the forehead of the baptized person, or the body of the baptized person is immersed in water, indicating the cleansing of past sins. Although there is nothing sinful about a newborn, if his parents are born out of wedlock, then his parents are sinners, and the child born to sinful parents must be guilty. And Eloise herself was an illegitimate child, so she was never baptized by religion. So, when Abelard mentioned the baptism of the child, he felt that he had nothing to say.

When Eloise found that she could not convince Abelard, she persuaded him, "Please do not be foolish to love arguments, for I do not want to offend you." ”

The two almost argued. However, at this time, the child was frightened by their sound and began to cry loudly. Eloise hurriedly picked the child up from the bed. Seeing the child's frightened and pitiful appearance and Abelard's stubborn persistence, Eloise finally gave up her insistence. Finally, she concluded her recourse with a sad sigh and tears, saying, "Is there less of this bitter lesson in history? I have to be nostalgic for the free Greek times, but I have to be dismayed to find that we cannot stay in that era." All we can do is try to make our love as simple as possible. In that case, I have no other way than to return to Paris with you, and we still have a happy love before the sorrow of our end. ”

"Please say no more, Eloise. Abelard got up from his chair, embraced Eloise from behind, kissed her neck and cheek, and said with infinite sorrow, "You have said that your mind and body have been given to me, so let me be my wife." ”

Eloise's heart melted.

When they had decided to return to Paris in two days' time, Eloise looked very depressed and sad, as if returning to Paris would lead her from heaven to hell. Despite Abelard's best efforts to comfort her, she simply shook her head, knowing that if she spoke, she would cause an argument and make Abelard angry. Therefore, she can only listen to his words and take her destiny into his hands.

That night, Abelard asked his sister, Mrs. Roferice, to accompany her. Madame de Laures, a very beautiful and very intelligent woman, came to Eloise's bedroom, took the child in her arms, kissed her, and said very fondly, "What a lovely little darling." ”

Eloise said to Madame de Roforles, "We've been living with you for more than half a year, and we're sorry to disturb you. We'll be back in Paris in two days. ”

Mrs. Rofeles said, "I heard Abelard. You've been here for so long, and I'm a little reluctant to hear that you're going back to Paris. ”

On the morning of her departure from the Rose Manor, Eloise took the child in her arms and bid farewell to Madame de Roforles in tears. Mrs. Roforlais comforted her and told her to come here whenever she wanted.

Abelard came over to say goodbye to his sister, then took Eloise by the hand, went out the door, and got into the carriage. Eloise carried the child into the carriage, and as the carriage moved, she stuck her head out the window and began to bid farewell to the Rose Manor, to her heaven, as if she were making a final farewell to the good girlhood.
