“And the dearest of towns, my own Tallinn, Always hovers in front of my eyes… This is what we, Tallinners always feel. And that feeling remains, though the town is constantly changing. Our dear guests, we should like you to take a particle of that feeling back with you to your homes in Moscow or Leningrad, Riga, Kiev, Helsinki or Stockholm, Schwerin or Szolnok, or whatever on our small earth your homes may be.”
– R. Pangsepp, Tallinn, Eesti Raamat, Tallinn, 1974
