- Kogu maailm oli vahepeal kadunud. Neile avanes hall eimiski. Alles natukese aja pärast said nad aru, et linnale oli tulemaalase laulu ajal laskunud erakordselt tihe udu. Polnud näha ühtki tuld, ühtki maja, ühtki kontuuri, ühtki detaili. Vaatepilt oli ühtlane, see polnudki pilt, vaid raamitud tühjus.
- The whole world had disappeared in the meantime. A gray nothingness opened up before them. Only after a moment did they realize that an unusually thick fog had descended on the city during his song. No lights, no houses, no outlines, no details were visible. The view was uniform; it was not a picture, but a framed emptiness.
