** 1864, Aleksis Kivi, Nummisuutarit, SKS, published 1956, act I:Eskoa et tyhmäksi maininne, yhtä viisas on hän aina kuin isänsäkin, minä nimittäin; hän on ihan kaltaiseni, niin sielun kuin ruumiin puolesta. Hän ei ole tyhmä, vaan vähän itsepäinen, ja sen taitaa tukastansakin nähdä, joka on valkoinen ja harjaskankea, niinkuin ukolla itse tässä.I must not talk of Esko as stupid, he is as wise as his father, that is me; he is like me, both in body and in soul. He is not stupid, only a little stubborn, and perhaps one can tell that just by his hair; white and stiff like the hairs of a broom, like yours truly.
