Jospa voisin nukkua unten unhovyöhön, hiljallensa hukkua kuin ilta hukkuu yöhön, nukkua ja unhottaa kadota ja kadottaa; sitten kaiken kaikottua tunnon tuskan, pellon, sitten jälleen havahtua helmaan uuden eloon! Jospa voisi herätä |
I wish I could deeply sleep dreaming in oblivion’s land in dreams’ silence lost to keep like the evening in night’s hand oh, to sleep and to forget lose yourself and lose regret; when all, everything is gone pain’s feeling and fear, then again awake, goes on a new life, with tears! I wish that I could arouse |
L. Onerva
English version by Maria Magdalena Biela
Hilja Onerva Lehtinen was born 28.04.1882, in Helsinki, the only child of Johan and Serafina Lehtinen. “Yhden kerran elämässä tuliruusu aukee Sill’ on lehti verinen ja purpurainen huuli, Her penname becomes L.Onerva for the rest of her blessed life. Her writings break the traditional waves and psychological concepts of human being and come closer to inner vision of Freud’s psycho-analysis. Her words, her poetical images show the deep need of freedom, rebellion, confusion: “minä olen vankina vaarallinen Although her intimate relationship with Eino Leino made her known as “the muse and lover of the greatest poet” and took away from her the right to be herself in front of posterity, to be known for her wonderful mind, for her extraordinary vision and talent for poetry, Onerva was silent and she never gave up her faith in E. Leino, being for him a friend, a sister, a mother. This loyal friendship only her husband, the magnificent composer Leevi Madetoja, understood and accepted.

Le Kalevala est une oeuvre universelle par sa forme et par ses thèmes. Les explications qu’il donne à sa facon sur l’origine du monde et la vie surnaturelle des choses et des vivants, le récit qu’il fait des tribulations de ses héros divins et humains à la fois, le message qu’il nous transmet sur les secrets de l’homme creusant sa vie dans la réalité farouche, tout cela tient du patrimoine universel.
