Unto Koskela(1908-1934)
or a light sail of a yacht,
or a gray, heavy fishing schooner.
You see only the sail, not what is under.
You don't know where it heads, not the port,
where it shall drop its anchor.
It alone from the pier to the fog vanishes,
and alone is also at the end of the journey.
A lonely sail everyone of us.
Our logbook no stranger sees.
And like the sail of a nameless ship
also memory of us in the fog disappears.
or a gray, heavy fishing schooner.
You see only the sail, not what is under.
You don't know where it heads, not the port,
where it shall drop its anchor.
It alone from the pier to the fog vanishes,
and alone is also at the end of the journey.
A lonely sail everyone of us.
Our logbook no stranger sees.
And like the sail of a nameless ship
also memory of us in the fog disappears.
[Purjeet sumussa; Purjeet tuulessa(1930).]
