The Kalevala
Tales of Magic and Adventure
Ilmarinen lit a fire and stuffed the materials for Sampo into the furnace. Slowly, from amid the flames, the dim outline of an object began to take shape.
For a day they fanned the fires,
Fanned a second and a third day.
Through the windows flames were shooting,
Through the door the sparks were flying.
Smoke it billowed up to heavens,
Into mighty clouds it gathered.
