Sunday Sauna. February 22. 2009

Poikkalainen Forest.


This Sunday the Sauna honours the memory of
A great Finnish poet

Moisti Poikkalainen of Tampere
(right of picture, writing).



Who amongst us can forget her haunting lovestruck lyrics?

I was a bough on a tree,
fostered by a lowly birch,
naked in a glade,
on land with no strawberries.

"A land with no strawberries" - Moisti's ancestral home.


Who among us has not wept at the deep emotional message in her famous love poem to her fourth husband?

A pike eats even a frog,
when it has swum a long way.
A woman marries even a bad man,
when she has been long without.

"A pike will eat even a frog"

Sadly, Moisti can't be with us as she died on the 22nd of February in 1437! But you can join us for a moist and merry remembrance....
