  • “Thereupon said Pohja's Master: ‘Women they are always hurried, And the maidens always busy, When before the stove they roast them, When they in their beds are lying; Son, go you, and look around you.’ Thereupon the son made answer: ‘I've no time to look about me; I must grind the blunted hatchet, Chop a log of wood to pieces, Chop to bits the largest wood-pile, And to faggots small reduce it. Large the pile, and small the faggots, And the workman of the weakest.’”
