“You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul - you are disappointed.”

edith sodergran“I live on in the sweetness of old dayswith strangers who build new dwellingson blue hills up to the edge of the sky,I talk softly with the captured treesand comfort them sometimes.How slowly time consumes the core of things,and soundlessly treads fate’s heavy heel.”
Edith Södergran, Poems 1916“Ripe summer's sweetness drippedin pearls from every treeand into my opened hearta little drop ran down.”
Edith Södergran, Poems 1916
