Tuula Temonen "Ihmisen osa : Runoja by Väinö Kolkkala" is a collection of lyric poetry written in the early 20th century. The book contemplates the human lot through Finnish landscapes and seasons, weaving themes of love and loss, work and faith, home and exile, and the passing of time. The poems move from spring’s quickening hope to winter’s hush and resignation, following a solitary voice that weighs safety against striving, prays for deliverance, and dreams of slipping away before all hope is spent. The middle section turns to the countryside: an old homestead, the dignity and fatigue of labor, the ache of leaving and the pull of return, a tender reunion with a gray-haired mother, and hymns that bring quiet grace to grief. The final section enters the woods: austere autumn scenes, a poor hut at the marsh’s edge, meditative forest songs that end in storm and snow, and an elegy for a lost beloved and for every life that fades “from dust to dust.” Throughout, nature mirrors inner weather, and the voice blends yearning, humility, and a sober, consoling faith.
