Tove Jansson Quotes

The Dog Continued To Bark At Night, Sometimes Far Away, Sometimes Close To The House. Towards Morning, He Would Howl. It Could Be Quiet For Hours, But There Were Those Who Lay In Bed Waiting For The Next Howl, And They Would Say, "Did You Hear That? It's Like Having A Wolf In The Woods. An Unhappy Woman Has An Unhappy Dog. It Ought To Be Shot."
Katri Did Not Talk About The Dog, But She Put Out Food And Water In The Yard. Sometimes At Night Mats Would Wait By The Kitchen Window With The Light Off And The Door Open. He Saw The Dog Only Once, Just As It Was Growing Light, And He Went Very Slowly Out On The Steps And Tried To Coax It In. But It Ran Off Into The Woods, So He Gave Up.
