Gods and Heroes of Finnish Myth
“Vilu mulle virttä virkkoi,/Then the Frost his songs recited,
Sae saatteli runoja./And the rain its legends taught me;
Virttä toista tuulet toivat,/Other songs the winds have wafted,
Meren aaltoset ajoivat./Or the ocean waves have drifted;
Linnut liitteli sanoja,/And their songs the birds have added,
Puien latvat lausehia./And the magic spells the tree-tops.”
- Elias Lönnrot, from Kalevala: Ensimmäinen Runo.
