Vähäinen cocous suomalaisista runoista : Turusa 1755 by Calamnius
"Vähäinen cocous suomalaisista runoista: Turusa 1755" by Gabriel Joosepinpoika Calamnius is a collection of Finnish poetry written during the mid-18th century. This book is notable as one of the few examples of poetry published in Finland during the time of Swedish rule. It primarily focuses on various themes related to Finnish culture and traditions, including marriage, mortality, and the beauty of nature, expressed through verse. The collection is composed of wedding poems,
funeral poems, and poetic wishes, each reflecting different aspects of life and societal values in Finland during that era. For instance, the wedding poems celebrate love and union, while the funeral poems delve into themes of death and loss, drawing on elements of Finnish folklore. Noteworthy poems include the often-quoted "Kevät keikkuen tuleepi," which ushers in the joys of spring, and the last poem that reflects the personal sorrow of the poet, portraying the blend of personal and communal experiences. Overall, Calamnius' work is emblematic of the early Finnish poetic tradition, providing insight into the cultural landscape of 18th-century Finland. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
