motivo de orgulho

within the altar of the old village church there stands a white marble tablet, which bears as yet but one word: 'AGNES'. there is no coffin in that tomb; and may it be many, many years, before another name is placed above it! but, if the spirits of the Dead ever come back to earth, to visit spots hallowed by the love - the love beyond the grave - of those whom they knew in life, I believe that the shade of Agnes sometimes hovers round the solemn nook. I believe it none the less because the nook is in a Church, and she was weak and erring.

THE END

Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist
