"Dia telah melihat Mrs. Erlich sebelum pulang untuk liburan, dan menemukannya sedang membuat kue Natal Jerman. Dia membawanya ke dapur dan menjelaskan tradisi yang hampir suci yang mengatur masakan rumit ini. Kegembiraan dan keseriusannya ketika dia memukul dan bergerak sangat cantik, pikir Claude. Di jari-jarinya dia menceritakan banyak bahan, tetapi dia percaya ada hal-hal yang tidak dia sebutkan: aroma persahabatan lama, cahaya kenangan awal, kepercayaan pada sajak dan lagu yang bekerja dengan baik."

--- Willa Cather

Versi Bahasa Inggris

He had been to see Mrs. Erlich just before starting home for the holidays, and found her making German Christmas cakes. She took him into the kitchen and explained the almost holy traditions that governed this complicated cookery. Her excitement and seriousness as she beat and stirred were very pretty, Claude thought. She told off on her fingers the many ingredients, but he believed there were things she did not name: the fragrance of old friendships, the glow of early memories, belief in wonder-working rhymes and songs.
