    Default Kalevala, English Translation.

    MASTERED by desire impulsive,
    By a mighty inward urging,
    I am ready now for singing,
    Ready to begin the chanting
    Of our nation's ancient folk-song
    Handed down from by-gone ages.
    In my mouth the words are melting,
    From my lips the tones are gliding,
    From my tongue they wish to hasten;
    When my willing teeth are parted,
    When my ready mouth is opened,
    Songs of ancient wit and wisdom
    Hasten from me not unwilling.

    This is a beautiful epic poem. I recommend it to anyone and everyone capable of understanding it. It is even better to have in book form, for that way you can snuggle up with it on a cold night and immerse yourself mentally in that world.
