Summary: "Selvään veteen: Runoja ja tunnuslauseita" by Juhani Siljo is a collection of poems and aphorisms written in the early 20th century. This lyrical work explores themes of nature, existence, love, and the human experience, reflecting personal sentiments against the backdrop of a changing world, likely influenced by the tumultuous historical events of its time, including war and societal upheaval. The opening of the collection features a foreword that hints at the personal struggles and sickness faced by the author, shedding light on his intimate thoughts and the deeper meanings behind his poetry. It introduces readers to a context of friendship, mortality, and the artistic endeavor to capture human emotions during difficult times. As it transitions into the poems themselves, the text begins with "Ruudinhajua," which contrasts the mundane life of two neighbors with the pervasive smell of gunpowder, symbolizing the looming presence of war and how it intertwines with their thoughts of heroism and camaraderie.
