Poet, novelist, playwright, and journalist, the most important
developer of Finnish-language poetry at the turn of the 20th century.
In his work, Eino Leino combined archaic and mythic elements,
symbolism, and influences from Friedrich Nietzsche with his romantic
concept of the artist as a truth-seeking visionary. Leino's command of
the language was outstanding, and he was the first Finnish translator
of Dante. A bohemian from the beginning of his literary career, Leino
become a well-known figure in the restaurants of the cultural elite of
Helsinki. Still probably the most cited poet in Finland, his works have
also inspired a number of composers and musicians.
"Short time's to us allotted till our urn.
Living, like furnace flames then let us burn,
High let us in the fire be ascending,
Earth stays below, the spirit's heavenward tending."
(in 'Hymn to Fire,' from Voices from Finland, ed. by E. Tompuri, 1947, p. 286)
Eino Leino was born Armas Einar Leopold Lönnbohm in Paltamo, Hövelö,
the son of Anders Lönnbohm, a surveyor, and Anna Emilia (Kyrenius)
Lönnbohm, who came from a priest and an officer's family. He was the
seventh and youngest son; there were ten children in all in the family.
Leino's father, who was originally callled Mustonen, died in 1890 and
his mother five years later. These losses were a deep blow to him,
which he expressed in his poems in feelings of loneliness and as an
orphan. He was educated in Kajaani, Oulu, and Hämeenlinna, graduating
from Hämeenlinna Grammar School in 1895. At the age of sixteen Leino
published a translation of a poem by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804-1877),
the great Swedish language Finnish poet.
In 1895 Leino started his studies at the Imperial Aleksander University of Helsinki.
He joined literary and newspaper circles and became a member of the Young Finnish circle.
Among Leino's friends were the artist Pekka Halonen and Otto Manninen, who gained fame as
a poet and translator. By the end of the century, Leino left the university without taking
a degree. He worked as a journalist and critic on the newspapers
Päivälehti (1899-1905) and Helsingin Sanomat (1905-14).
His pseudonyms, 'Mikko Vilkastus' and 'Teemu,' were from Aleksis Kivi's play
Nummisuutarit. Between the years 1898 and 1899 he edited with his brother Kasimir Leino the magazine Nykyaika, and was heavily
in debt after its bankruptcy. Also both Russian censorship and self-censorship
threatened free expression – Russification of Finlad had started under governor
general Nicholas Bobrikov, who was shot to death by Eugen Schauman in 1904.
Later Leino planned to include Schauman in his collection of poems about great Finns.
When his marriage with Freya Schoultz and dreams of bourgeois life
style neared an end in 1908, Leino went abroad and travelled in Berlin,
Dresden, Münich, and Rome. Leino's close friend and companion during
the turning point of his life was the poet L. Onerva,
with whom he lived in Rome in 1908-09; at that time they both were
still legally married. Leino had rented an apartment at Lungo Tevere
Prat, where he continued with his translation of Dante's Divine Comedy.
A memorial tablet was later placed on the wall of house where he
stayed: "In questa casa negli anni 1908-1909 il grande poeta finlandese
Eino Leino tradusse La Divina Commedia con amore inspirato alla
universalita di Roma."
Leino attempted to revive Finnish theatre, and boldly attacked Kaarlo Bergbom, the founder of the Finnish Theatre. His major plays from the beginning of the century include Simo Hurtta I-II (1904-19), telling of an eighteen-century nobleman, Simo Affleck, nicknamed Hurtta, Lalli
(1907), about the half-legenady pagan peasant, who killed according to
legends Bishop Henrik, the first Christian missionary in Finland,
and Maunu Tavast (1908). From 1915 to 1918 Leino worked as an editor of the magazine Sunnuntai. Leino's liaison with the writer Aino Kallas from 1916 to 1919 created a new scandal – she was the wife of an Estonian diplomat.
At the outbreak of the Finnish Civil War (1917-18), Leino was in Helsinki, where
he witnessed the battles with his small boozing circle. The reign of the Reds did
not win Leino's sympathies; the women's battalion especially horrified the poet:
"This was the first time I'd seen so many of them gathered together, and I
have to confess, in the name of truth, I've never at any other time witnessed such
human savagery, bestial frenzy, mental derangement and physical
disfigurement." (translated by Herbert Lomas,
in Helsinki: a Literary Companion, 2000)
After the war Leino's idealistic faith for a national unity
collapsed, and his influence as a journalist and polemic writer grew
weaker. At the age of forty, he was granted a State writer's pension.
Although publishing prolifically, he had financial problems and his
health was giving way. Reportedly he lived during his last years
alternately in a hotel, a hospital, and at friend's homes. "Life is
always struggle with eternal forces," Leino wrote in a letter in 1925
to his friend, the Finland-Swedish poet and aesthete Bertel Gripenberg. "Nous sommes pourtant nécessaires.
Aussi malades. Mais c'est de la tristesse de la vie, qui pour nous est
toujours un combat avec les forces étérnelles." Leino died at
Riihiluhta in Nuppulinna, on January 10, 1926. Gripenberg said that Leino
perhaps was the only Finnish author, who could truly be called a genius. Leino was married three times, first to Thyra
Freya Franzena Schoultz (1905-10), then to the harpist Aino Inez
Kajanus (1913-1920), who was the daughter of the conductor Robert
Kajanus, and for the third time to Hanna Laitinen (1921, died 1929).
Freya Schoultz was a translator and commercial correspondent; Leino t
enjoyed with her for a couple of years bourgeois life in a large
seaside flat. Leino's only child, Eya Helka, came of this marriage.
Leino's first collection of poems, the light-hearted Maaliskuun lauluja, came out
in 1896, when he was eighteen-years old. Later he turned from
the free style to the meter and style of folklore. Tuonelan joutsen (1896),
a Neo-romantic verse play, combined symbolism and folk poetry. After a
journey to Russia Karelia and falling in love with
a 'nature child,' Anni Tiihonen, Leino wrote Sata ja yksi laulua (1898). He started the work in Berlin. It included one of his most
beloved poems, 'Hymyilevä Apollo,' originally part three of the
larger poetic work entitled 'Hymni.' Reinhold Roine's (pseudonym R.R.)
review of the book in the newspaper Uusi Suometar was hostile.
Later Leino published his 'Hymn' in Tuulikannel (1919), to this edition he made small changes. For decades, the poem was heard on
New Year's Eve radio broadcasts. Another popular poem, the resignated
'Nocture,' was first published in Talvi-yö (1905). "I have stopped chasing
Jack-o'-Lantern, / I hold gold from the Demon's mountain; /
around me life tightens its ring, / time stops, the vane has ceased to
swing; / the road before me through the gloom / is leading to the
unknown room." (Skating on the Sea: Poetry from Finland, edited and translated by Keith Bosley, 1997, p. 185)
Simo Hurtta, an epic poem, took its subject from the long war in the early
18th century between Russia and Sweden-Finland. Talvi-yö and Halla (1908),
born in the years of political dissatisfaction, returned to the images
of darkness, frost, and cold. Leino's personal crisis led the poet to
abandon individual heroes and the theme of death – he focused on cosmic
visions and legends. Leino's works, such as Painuva päivä (1914) and Elämän koreus(1916), still had high artistic values. It has been said, that his first and only screenplay, Kesä (1913), was written in one night – but most likely, Leino had not seen any feature films.
After the Finnish Civil war Leino worked productively but on several
occasions his efforts led to pathos and empty preaching. During this
period there appeared Leirivalkeat (1917), Juhana Herttuan ja Catharina Jagellonican lauluja (1919), Ajatar (1920), Syreenien kukkiessa (1920), and Shemeikan murhe (1924).
Leino also wrote plays, essays, contemporary novels, animal fables, and
translated into Finnish works from such authors as Racine, Runeberg,
Schiller, Anatole France, J.W. von Goethe, Dante, Rabindranath Tagore,
Dante (Divine Comedy, 1912-14), and Corneille. His oeuvre includes 32 books of poetry, 25 plays, 25 novels, and 16 translations.
Tell me, O Sun, what is that
Gives the greatest bliss to the singer?
"Do as I do, beam like me,
Giving's greatest bliss to the singer."
(in 'The Sun's Advice,' from Voices from Finland, ed. by E. Tompuri, 1947, p. 110)
Having published several books of verse, Leino produced his major work, Helkavirsiä (1903-1916, Whit songs), a collection of narrative poetry composed in the trochaic meter. It was based on the Kalevala
and folk poetry, and appeared in two collections. Several of the
ballads present the past in heroic light, its characters are great
visionaries, who challenge their fate or willingly yield to greater
forces. "Täss' on mies tämän sukuinen, / kadu ei tehtyä tekoa / eikä
taivasta tavota." ('Ylermi') The second volume of Whitsuntide songs
is more resigned and more mystical than the first, and the symbolism is
more obscure. "Uskoin ennen ihmisihin, / en nyt itke, en iloitse, / ohi
käyvät onnet heidän, / onnettomuudetkin ohitse, / tiedän kyllä
kylmyyteni, / en sitä sure, en kadu, / se on voitto taisteloiden, /
tulos tappion tuhannen." ('Äijön virsi') Obsession with death
marks some later pieces. Leino never wrote a third volume of Helkavirsiä, although the noted short story writer Aino Kallas in vain tried to persuade him to do so.
Leino's autobiographical books include Alla kasvon Kaikkivallan (1917),
and Elämäni kuvakirja (1925). As an essayist Leino was one of the best
of his time. In the unfinished series, Suomalaisia kirjailijoita (1909), he drew
well-characterized portraits of Finnish authors. Suomalaisen kirjallisuuden historia
(1910) was a short but insightful history of Finnish literature. Leino also wrote
about himself in the book and admits the influence of Goethe on his poetry.
He praises Aleksis Kivi's novel The Seven Brothers: "Yhtä rohkea
kuin kirjan sisällys on sen muoto, joka on sekoitus draamallisista,
eepillisistä ja lyyrillisistä aineksista, kaikki kuitenkin yhtyneinä
klassilliseksi kokonaisuudeksi." Although his general attitude is positive, one
exception is Irmari Rantamala's (Maiju Lassila) large and shapeless novel Harhama
(1909), which he dismisses as "tasteless". In his own prose works Leino's
interest varied from large contemporary social, political, and ideological questions to
intimate and allegorical subjects, of which Musti (1916), about the life and wisdom of
a dog, become hugely popular.
Between 1911 and 1913 Leino produced his "slave" novels, Työn orja
(1911, Slave of work), Rahan orja (1912, Slave of money), Naisen orja
(1913, slave of woman), and Onnen orja (1913, Slave of fortune). Although
the protagonist's creativity
is impressively displayed in the tetralogy in the areas of scholarly learning, business,
literature, and love, which makes him an Nietzschean Übermensch,
his idealism is eventually destroyed by the modern capitalist world,
and he spends the rest of his life as a hermit in the mountains.
Also Alkibiades, which Leino wrote in 1908, and Tarquinus Superbus,
dealt with the theme of a "superman". However, Nietzsche's most
faithfully follower at that time was Aarni Kouta, who translated Also sprach
Zarathustra (1907), Der Antichrist (1908), and Dionysos (1909) into Finnish.

ELEGIA
Haihtuvi nuoruus niinkuin vierivä virta.
Langat jo harmaat lyö elon kultainen pirta.
Turhaan, oi turhaa tartun ma hetkehen kiini,
riemua ei suo rattoisa seura, ei viini.
Häipyvät taakse tahtoni ylpeät päivät.
Henkeni hurmat ammoin jo jälkehen jäivät.
Notkosta nousin. Taasko on painua tieni?
Toivoni ainoo: tuskaton tuokio pieni.
Tiedän ma: rauha mulle on mullassa suotu.
Etsijän tielle ei lepo lempeä luotu,
pohjoinen puhuu, myrskyhyn aurinko vaipuu,
jää punajuova: kauneuden voimaton kaipuu.
Upposi mereen unteni kukkivat kunnaat.
Mies olen köyhä: kallit on laulujen lunnaat.
Kaikkeni annoin, hetken ma heilua jaksoin,
haavehen kullat mieleni murheella maksoin.
Uupunut olen, ah, sydänjuurihin saakka!
Liikaako lienee pantukin paatinen taakka?
Tai olen niitä, joilla on tahto, ei voima?
Voittoni tyhä, työn tulos tuntoni soima.
Siis oli suotta kestetyt, vaikeat vaivat,
katkotut kahleet, poltetut, rakkahat laivat?
Nytkö ma kaaduin, kun oli kaikkeni tarpeen?
Jähmetyn jääksi, kun meni haavani arpeen.
Toivoton taisto taivaan valtoja vastaan!
Kaikuvi kannel; lohduta laulu ei lastaan.
Hallatar haastaa, soi sävel sortuvin siivin.
Rotkoni rauhaan kuin peto kuoleva hiivin.
