“Ja tämä Bergin ylämäki sitten: oliko se näin korkea kun olimme lapsia, vai onko se korkea vasta nyt kun minä olen vanha? Mehiläiset lentää kuhisevat syreenipensaissa kuin markkinoilla; Berg häämöttää tammen empivien lehvien lävitse ja taivas tummenee iltaa kohti. Vanha penkki, kahden ison puupölkyn päälle pantu tammilankku, on vanhuuttaan harmaantunut. Tässä vanhukset istuivat, puolimatkassa ylös, henkeä vetämässä. Ja me juoksimme heidän ohitseen nopeilla ruskettuneilla säärillämme, eikä siitä ole kuin hetkinen. Outoa!”
