Midsummer night

 Translation: Liis
 
Midsummer night fire in Kihnu
 
On midsummer night a peculiar life awakens in nature. Trees talk to trees, animals to animals, birds to birds ....They all know the future, and in this night coming things are talked about. Only the „wise“ understand, and thus come to know the secrets of the future.
 
Flowers talk to flowers, the grass, rustling, announces its observations to grasses. Stones alone stand dumbly, enviously listening to how „all nature has been transformed to talk“.
 

Matthias Johann Eisen's  „Jaani raamat“ (Midsummer book), published 1899
