"There never was a ‘Kalevala’ neither, but that doesn’t bother people in the same way."

"Bivouacs in the Disputed Territory

Purple neck
of a pigeon nesting.
Black spot
where a snake of fire uncoiled.

I bring you these borrowed words
through a silence
of blameless thorns."

--Og-Mora, in: Anthology of Korean Literature From Early Times to the Nineteenth Century, ed. Peter H. Lee (1981)

Waiting Inside You.

"The hour is starry, and the airs that stray,
Sad wanderers from their golden home of day,
On night's black mountain melt and fade away
In sorrow that is music."

--Beddoes
