"Bahkan jalan, sinar matahari, udara sangat memiliki kualitas khusus hari Minggu. Kami berjalan berbeda pada hari Minggu, dengan kepatutan dan kesopanan yang lebih besar. Salam lebih formal, lebih tenang, suara lebih sopan sopan. Semuanya begitu halus, hambar, dipoles. Dan sungguh, karena ini hari Minggu. Di gereja, gemerisik dan keheningan sama-sama diliputi oleh pengetahuan bahwa semua adalah yang terbaik. Propriety menguasai alam semesta. Tuhan ada di Surga-Nya, dan kami mengenakan pakaian hari Minggu kami."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Even the street, the sunshine, the very air had a special Sunday quality. We walked differently on Sundays, with greater propriety and stateliness. Greetings were more formal, more subdued, voices more meticulously polite. Everything was so smooth, bland, polished. And genuinely so, because this was Sunday. In church the rustling and the stillness were alike pervaded with the knowledge that all was for the best. Propriety ruled the universe. God was in His Heaven, and we were in our Sunday clothes.
