    • 1962, Immanuel Pau, Roosid järelmaksuga [Roses on Credit], Tallinn: Eesti Riiklik Kirjastus, translation of Roses à crédit by Elsa Triolet, published 1959, page 7:
      Ammugi oleks olnud juba aeg süüdata tagatuled veoautol, mis oli kokku sulamas ööpimedusega, ent iste juhikabiinis oli tühi. Ainsana andis siin praegu elumärki videvikuvärvi suitsujuga, mis tõusis hurtsiku roostest söödud plekk-katusest välja ulatuvast korstnast.
      It was long time to turn on the taillights of the truck, that was melting into the darkness of night, but the driver's seat was empty. The only sign of life here now was a puff of twilight-coloured smoke rising from the rust-eaten tin chimney of the shack.
