"Tentu saja bukan wanita tua yang sudah mumi dan dicat kasar yang dia lihat di depannya, tetapi seluruh "spesies wanita," seperti kebiasaannya untuk memanggil wanita. Individu itu menghilang, fitur-fiturnya dilenyapkan, apakah muda atau pikun, cantik atau jelek - itu hanyalah variasi yang tidak penting. Di belakang setiap wanita muncul wajah Aphrodite yang keras, sakral, dan misterius."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

It was certainly not this mummified and outrageously painted old woman he was seeing before him, but the entire "female species," as it was his custom to call women. The individual disappeared, the features were obliterated, whether young or senile, beautiful or ugly - those were mere unimportant variations. Behind each woman rises the austere, sacred and mysterious face of Aphrodite.
