"Harvey tidak tertarik pada pakaian itu, topenglah yang memikatnya. Mereka seperti butiran salju: tidak ada yang sama. Beberapa terbuat dari kayu dan plastik; beberapa jerami, kain, dan bubur kertas. Beberapa seterang bayan, yang lain sepucat perkamen. Beberapa sangat aneh sehingga dia yakin mereka diukir oleh orang-orang gila; yang lain begitu sempurna sehingga tampak seperti topeng kematian para malaikat. Ada topeng badut dan rubah, topeng seperti tengkorak dihiasi dengan gigi asli, dan satu dengan api berukir bukan rambut."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Harvey wasn't interested in the clothes, it was the masks that mesmerized him. They were like snowflakes: no two alike. Some were made of wood and of plastic; some of straw and cloth and papier-mâché. Some were as bright as parrots, others as pale as parchment. Some were so grotesque he was certain they'd been carved by crazy people; others so perfect they looked like the death masks of angels. There were masks of clowns and foxes, masks like skulls decorated with real teeth, and one with carved flames instead of hair.
