The woman never modifies anything by her actions, neither nature, nor history, nor the countryside, nor things, nor the men who revolve around her. But the woman transfigures all, absolutely everything, by her presence alone.

“Setting the table is a womanly act. The woman is most a woman in this act. For everyone in the house, a woman who sets the table is the same as good earth which makes flowers and plants grow. We are always too busy to notice with what artistic genius spring, summer, and autumn prepare fruit and grains, wheat and flowers, trees, fields and vine. It is with the same creative genius of the seasons that all women on earth prepare the table, their gestures automatic and fluid, because they come from the depths, the subsoil, of the feminine nature. They are discrete but exact motions, like the solving of an equation. The woman, like all great actors, knows by heart each motion, each movement, and carries them out without a thought, as if it were second nature. Like a river that flows, never thinking about itself flowing, or asking why it flows… that is what a woman is like.”
