1987, Eira Stenberg, Häikäisy, Tammi, →ISBN, page 9:Muistatko Tuijaseni? Me emme totisesti olleet kotitalomme koivu ja tähti. Tuijat ovat hautapuita, kuin siististi palavia vihreitä liekkejä joiden symmetria ei häiritse vainajien mielenrauhaa. Et totisesti muistuta nimeäsi.- Do you remember, my little Tuija? We were not the birch and the star at our home. Thujas are coniferous trees, like neatly burning green flames, that have a symmetry that doesn't bother the peace of mind of the dead. You don't resemble your name at all.
