which might serve to bind the evil,
And to close the gaping edges
Of the great wound from the iron'

#Kalevala Runo 8

#KalevalaDay

She's having none of it, and asks the Fieldfare:

'Tell me, O thou little fieldfare,
Sing thou, that my ears may hear it,
Whether it indeed is better,
Whether thou hast heard 'tis better,
For a girl in father's dwelling,
Or in household of a husband?'
