Leino Eino
(1878—1926)

Eino Leino was a poet of exceptional talent, drawing heavily on the Kalevala tradition. His main themes are love and nature, and poem collections such as Helkavirsiä (Helka-hymns, 1903), Halla (Frost, 1908) which includes the wonderful love/nature poem Nocturne, and Hymyilevä Apollo (The Smiling Apollo) are still much-loved.
