| “ | A race of sucklers, with gnashing jaws,
you finished the tale of the dinosaurus, but you'll never rise above the earth as we: you're dust and soil and dearth, an organised pack with famished maws. - Maybe you'll rise from your mud one day. How much, it's up to you say." (from 'The Last Dinosaur' in Huojuvat keulat, 1946) |
