Mr. Rochester continued blind the first two years of our union; perhaps it was that circumstance that drew us so very near--that knit us so very close: for I was then his vision, as I am still his right hand.
M. Rochester resta aveugle pendant les deux premières années de notre mariage: c'est peut-être là ce qui nous a tant rapprochés, ce qui a rendu notre union si intime; car j'étais sa vue comme je suis encore sa main droite.
