"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
