Quote & Verse 19/4/2015

"It's simple, if it jiggles, it's fat." Arnold Schwartzenegger

She raises her head from the sea

she lifts up her poll:

she began her creation

forming her creatures

on the clear high seas

upon the open expanse.

Where she turned her hand around

there she arranged the headlands;

where her foot touched the bottom

there she dug out the fish troughs;

where else she bubbled

there she hollowed out the depths.

She turned her side to the land:

there she formed the salmon haunts;

with her head she reached the land:

there she shaped the bays.

Then she swam further from land

paused upon the main;

formed the crags in the water

grew the hidden reefs

to be places for shipwreck

the dispatch of sailors' heads.

KALEVALA - THE WATER-MOTHER
