Tove Jansson: "Sekarang semuanya berubah. Dia berjalan dengan langkah...

"Sekarang semuanya berubah. Dia berjalan dengan langkah hati-hati, cemas, terus menatap tanah, mencari hal-hal yang merayap dan merangkak. Semak-semak berbahaya, demikian juga rumput laut dan air hujan. Ada binatang kecil di mana-mana. Mereka dapat muncul di antara sampul buku, rata dan mati, karena faktanya adalah binatang yang merayap, binatang yang compang-camping, dan binatang yang mati ada bersama kita sepanjang hidup kita, dari awal hingga akhir. Nenek mencoba mendiskusikan ini dengannya, tetapi tidak berhasil. Teror irasional sangat sulit dihadapi."

--- Tove Jansson

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Now everything was changed. She walked about with cautious, anxious steps, staring constantly at the ground, on the lookout for things that crept and crawled. Bushes were dangerous, and so were sea grass and rain water. There were little animals everywhere. They could turn up between the covers of a book, flattened and dead, for the fact is that creeping animals, tattered animals, and dead animals are with us all our lives, from beginning to end. Grandmother tried to discuss this with her, to no avail. Irrational terror is so hard to deal with.
