   • 2011, Anna Tommola, Seitsemäs käsiala ja muita kertomuksia, WSOY, →ISBN, page 11:

     Mitä valtavampi mies, sitä sirompi ja pikkuisempi oli Mimosa. Kuin keiju. Kuin kukka. Siksi hän vaihtoi nimensäkin, hänhän oli herkkä.

     The larger the man, the smaller and more graceful Mimosa was. Like a fairy, like a flower. That's why she changed her name too, she was tender.
