There are women who serve constantly: they serve a man, a family, a monastery, a child. These women are quiet. Everything that is essential in life, that "has to be done by someone", is done by them. Their work is noiseless. They don't form associations: they wash diapers or iron in the drying chamber in hot air, in August, when the skin burns, the fruit dries on the trees, the dogs hide under the bed.

Hungarian

"Vannak nők, akik állandóan szolgálnak: egy férfit, egy családot, egy zárdát, egy gyermeket szolgálnak. Ezek a nők csendesek. Mindazt, ami az életben nélkülözhetetlen, amit "valakinek el kell végezni", ők végzik. Munkájuk zajtalan. Nem alakítanak egyesületeket: pelenkát mosnak, vagy a szárítókamrában, forró levegőben vasalnak, augusztusban, amikor a bőr kipállik, a gyümölcs aszalt lesz a fákon, a kutyák az ágy alá bújnak."
