Karisto Oy, $c1921. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elegiasta_oodiin Tapio Riikonen "Elegiasta oodiin : ynnä muita runoja by Aaro Hellaakoski" is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. The book charts a lyrical journey from elegy to ode, moving through themes of nature, the sea, love, spiritual doubt, civic memory, and the human struggle with fate. Its likely topic is the poet’s search for meaning and clarity amid modern turmoil, using seasonal cycles and mythic images to test the soul’s resilience. The collection opens with a prologue that invokes autumn and the stars as judges, and the first section sets a somber tone of exhaustion, loss, and skepticism (Elegia, Syys-ilta, Meren tuska, Pääsiäislaulu). The second section shifts to worldly and intimate scenes—street satire, love poems (Erotiikkaa), memories, and dramatic pieces like Anarkisti, where Nemesis confronts a rebel-dreamer. The third section turns outward to spring and travel—thaw, fields, lakes, and ridges (Kevään tulo, Heinäkuu, Koli)—but also inward to confrontation with nature’s indifferent power (Molok). The fourth section speaks in myth and emblem: the two Kain poems, the hawk and the mole, the lover and the wanderer, each testing freedom, instinct, and destiny. The final section gathers public remembrance (Vainajien kysymys), meditations on art and the sea, a brief credo of nothingness and forgetting, and culminates in Oodi and an epilogue that accept the charge: to receive the world fully, bear pain without illusion, and let the song stand as its witness.
