- Hänen nimensä oli Heli ja helposti häneltä pääsi helisevä nauru. Harvoin hänen kasvonsa vakavana näki. Minusta tuntuikin, että nuo kasvot oli luotu hymyilemään ja tuo ääni nauruna helisemään.
- Her name was Heli and her laughter was indeed tingly. Her expression was rarely grave. I felt like that face was made to smile and that voice to tingle and laugh.

- [ - - - ] äiti saattoi kuvitella olevansa yksikseen hellan luona, silloin hän saattoi siinä laulaa tuolla heleällä ja hyvin kirkkaalla äänellään: "Sua lähde kaunis katselen..." Isä sanoikin äitiä usein Heliksi, mutta minä tiesin, että äidin nimi oli Helga―Helga Maria.
- [ - - - ] my mother might've imagined she was lonely by the stove, and then she would sing in that clear and very bright voice: "Sua lähde kaunis katselen..." My father would often call her Heli, but I knew her name was Helga―Helga Maria.
