I am no little baby,
I work as hard as men.
I dye and paint and glue, too,
Fine Pictures just for you.

– Silva Kaputikjan, translated by Paul Hillier

So hello, book! What a fine book!
Full of magical trails,
And the glories of the stories
From the tellers of tales.

– Leelo Tungal, translated by Paul Hillier
