Explore "The Kalevala" by Elias Lönnrot on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Wainamoinen, the magician, / Takes his steed of copper color, / Hitches quick his fleet-foot courser, / Puts his racer to the snow-sledge, / Straightway springs upon the cross-seat, / Snaps his whip adorned with jewels.
Like the winds the steed flies onward, / Like a lightning flash, the racer / Makes the snow-sledge creak and rattle, / Makes the highway quickly vanish, / Dashes on through fen and forest, / Over hills and through the valleys, / Over marshes, over mountains, / Over fertile plains and meadows;
