metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: T﻿he article discusses the most stable and important images of stone and water in
  the post-war poetry of Finland in both Finnish and Swedish. Turning to these images,
  poets connect the modern perception of the world with mythological concepts. Each
  poet brings a personal attitude and national specificity to the rethinking of images.
  The literary sources and the continuity of artistic images are analyzed; the relationship
  of the “second” modernism poetry with the landscape and cultural tradition is investigated.
  So, some of the motives in the work of Thomas Eliot, who saw spiritualized
  matter in the image of a stone, are typologically similar to the poetic views of Finland’s
  writers. Some poets get accustomed to the image of a stone, identify themselves with
  it (Aila Meriluoto), others, like Ralf Nordgren, who writes in Swedish, treat him contemplatively,
  taking the position of an outside observer. The connection of poetry with
  the landscape and domestic cultural tradition is investigated. Aila Meriluoto creates a
  number of stone images (“stone God”, “stone truth”, “stone humanity”). Poets following
  her either replenish this collection of “stones” or reject it altogether. The image of stone
  in Finland’s poetry is inseparable from the image of water. For Eeva-Liisa Manner, the
  poetic connection with water is “immersion in the mirror” of the lake, the fusion of the
  subject with the object, the person with the world. For Bo Carpelan, “to withstand the
  sea” means to go through darkness, to find oneself. The image of water, like the image of
  a stone, evolves from serious (primary matter, a substance that gives life) to humorous
  (a means necessary for taking medicine). The images of stone and water in the poetry of Finland are multifaceted. Poets interpret them differently. Poets bring new shades of
  feelings and give new meaning to the traditional mythological attitude.
