Mettisen sunnuntai : runoja by Roine Bertel
QR code
Mettisen sunnuntai by Roine Bertel is a collection of lyric poems written in the early 20th century. The book dwells on nature’s seasons, love’s longing, and quiet meditations on time, faith, and the human condition. Across five sections, the poems move from spring’s awakening and playful pastoral scenes to summer’s ripeness and desire, then into the hush of night where doubt, cold, and solitude surface. Early pieces linger on bluebells, clouds, moonlit
roses, and the ache of youth; others turn intimate and urgent, voicing passion, distance, and disappointment. Midway, nocturnal poems listen for what daylight hides, while reflective pieces invoke figures like Diogenes, a blind horse straining for freedom, the desert’s Jericho rose, and a northern Madonna to weigh humility, suffering, and hope. The closing sea-journey poem sets a course for freer waters, ending with a yearning for wider horizons and tempered rest. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
