| Summary |
"Silmästä silmään: Runoja" by Uuno Kailas is a collection of poetry written during the early 20th century. This work encapsulates the struggles of the human condition, exploring themes of love, death, solitude, and the search for meaning in a turbulent world. Kailas’s evocative language and imagery invite readers to reflect on profound emotional and existential questions. The poems in this collection feature various speakers grappling with the complexities of life, including the joy and pain of love, the weight of despair, and the inevitability of death. Each piece captures a unique perspective, whether it’s the wistfulness of lost relationships, the yearning for beauty and transcendence, or the somber acceptance of one’s fate. Through vivid metaphors and haunting lyricism, Kailas explores the interplay between humanity and the greater forces of fate and existence, ultimately leading readers to confront their own emotions and thoughts on mortality and beauty.
