Isvecli oyun ve roman yazari August Strindberg’in olum yildonumu (14 Mayis 1912)
"Bir gun bir cocuga sormustum deniz neden tuzludur diye. Babasi uzun bir sefere cikmisti. Cocuk hemencecik karsilik verdi: ‘Deniz tuzludur cunku denizciler durmadan aglarlar!’ ‘Neden denizciler boyle cok aglar ki!’ ‘Cunku’ dedi ‘yolculukları bitmez. Onun için de mendillerini hep direklere asip kuruturlar!’ Gene sordum: ‘Ya nicin insanlar uzgun olunca aglar?’ ‘Cunku’ dedi ‘daha duru gorebilelim diye gozlerin camini ara sira yikamak gerek’ "
“I once asked a little boy why the sea was salt, and the boy, whose father was away on a long journey, said right away, ‘The sea is salt because the sailors cry so much.’ ‘But why do the sailors cry so much?’ I asked. ‘Because,’ he said, ‘they always have to go away from home- and that's why they're always drying their handkerchiefs up on the masthead!! And then I asked him, ‘But why do people cry when they're sad?’ And he said, ‘That's because they have to wash the glasses of their eyes so they can see better.’ "
