"Mengunjungi seseorang di rumah sakit baru-baru ini, saya menyaksikan pasangan lansia. Pria itu di kursi roda, istri duduk di sebelahnya di ruang tamu. Selama setengah jam yang saya perhatikan mereka tidak pernah bertukar kata, hanya berpegangan tangan dan saling memandang, dan sekali atau dua kali pria itu menepuk wajah istrinya. Perasaan cinta begitu kental di ruangan itu sehingga aku merasa aku berbagi dalam persekutuan mereka dan terguncang sepanjang hari oleh rasa sakit mereka, cinta mereka, sesuatu yang sedih dan juga sukacita: kepenuhan hubungan manusia."

--- Eda LeShan

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Visiting someone in a hospital recently, I watched an elderly couple. The man was in a wheelchair, the wife sitting next to him in the visitors' room. For the half-hour that I watched they never exchanged a word, just held hands and looked at each other, and once or twice the man patted his wife's face. The feeling of love was so thick in that room that I felt I was sharing in their communion and was shaken all day by their pain, their love, something sad and also joyful: the fullness of a human relationship.
