'It's a comet.' Said the Muskrat. 'A glowing star that flashes through the empty black space beyond the sky trailing a fiery tail behind it.' - Comet in Moominland
'Not one adventure in a whole day. Just grey banks and grey banks and grey banks, and not even an adventure.' - Comet in Moominland
April 1957 As I go about here, longing for you, and lose myself in my hopelessly big bed--I find myself thinking of those who have to snatch every minute. We've the whole summer waiting for us and it isn't far off! Tove
26th June 1956 The wagtails were yelling in great agitation, complaining volubly because the copper jug we had our midsummer leaves in had fallen down and clearly frightened the babies out of their wits. They probably got a dousing as well. Tove
Midsummer Day 1958. And my request to you now, my darling, is to stay calmly on our island - that's the most important thing you can do and the one that will help me the most. I shall come to you, as long as you don't mind a little wait. Let me hug you close.
April 1957 But I was in raptures when they let me hold a bushbaby, a strange, fluffy little creature with little hands and enormous eyes. It was terribly cute and reminded me slightly of you! Tove
'He must have been very happy. He did a somersault here - that's clear enough.' - Finn Family Moomintroll
22nd March 1957. And how am I to get through the coming night in such a lonely and unwelcoming bed?
28th June 1956 Suddenly there's a lot going on again. I'd hardly had time to make the bed before Bjorn Landström came over the hill, with Vivica after him - they'd both arrived by water taxi. Tove
26th August 1966 The cat has just turned up and is yowling for food. Warm wishes to our friends and a big hug. I miss you, everything's a bit wrong without you. Tove
'Didn't you understand that I was melancholy?' - Moominland Midwinter
28th June 1956. I feel like a garden that's finally been watered, so my flowers can bloom. Goodnight darling. Look after yourself. Tove.
20th November 1957. Darling, I miss you so much and am utterly calm in the awareness that you need me just as much. Tove.
10th July 1956. Tuulikki, I long to read more in the book of you. I long for you in every way, and I'm more alone with all these people around me than when I was wandering about on my own, thinking of you.
'True, I intended to punish the sun by staying at home until he comes back. But this is important.' - Moominland Midwinter
20th November 1957 And I have the secret excitement of knowing that now I will be trying to describe my experiences, and you and your surroundings, in Finnish. It's the biggest present you've given me, for a long time, perhaps you don't realise. Tove
28th June 1956. But just think, this is the last time ever! Then we can do whatever we want with our summers. Goodnight darling.
Undated. The cat wants to sleep now, it keeps clambering over the letter--so I shall kiss you goodnight and vanish into an enormous, lonely feather bed...
Undated. My arms are firmly around you - and best wishes to all our friends at home from your dazed and tired and terribly happy Tove.
31st January 1947, to Vivica Bandler You like me, don't you, even though I look like something the cat brought in and fail to send you the poems I ought to be writing in your honour every morning and evening, if I was remotely worth my salt.
