"Saya pikir suatu pagi, Papess terbangun di menara, dan selimutnya begitu hangat, dan matahari sangat keemasan, dia tidak tahan. Saya pikir dia bangun, berpakaian, dan mencuci wajahnya dengan air dingin, dan menggosok kepalanya yang dicukur. Saya pikir dia berjalan di antara saudara perempuannya, dan untuk pertama kalinya melihat bahwa mereka begitu cantik, dan dia mencintai mereka. Saya pikir dia bangun suatu pagi dari semua pagi hari, dan menemukan bahwa hatinya seputih ulat sutra, dan matahari jernih seperti kaca di dahinya, dan dia percaya bahwa dia bisa hidup, dan damai di tangannya seperti mutiara."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I think that one morning, the Papess woke in her tower, and her blankets were so warm, and the sun was so golden, she could not bear it. I think she woke, and dressed, and washed her face in cold water, and rubbed her shaven head. I think she walked among her sisters, and for the first time saw that they were so beautiful, and she loved them. I think she woke up one morning of all her mornings, and found that her heart was as white as a silkworm, and the sun was clear as glass on her brow, and she believed then that she could live, and hold peace in her hand like a pearl.
