L. Onerva (Hilja Onerva Lehtinen, 1882-1972)
Small is the changing shape of the dirt,
small is old and small is new.
Great is Nirvana's dark emptiness,
the fading silence of the East.
Small is the rolling glimmer of the river,
small is the path of human actions.
Great is the one, which from nowhere came,
great is the one, which doesn't anywhere lead.
Itämaan viisaus has been translated from the collection Särjetyt jumalat(1910).
