On the clear hyaline, the glassy sea - Lasimaisella peilityynellä

Ambiance images at the lake - Tunnelmakuvia järveltä

There is a lake not far from our house.
We go and hail the lake, just the two of us,
I and my furry friend.
***

Talomme likellä on järvi.

Käymme tervehtimässä järveä, vain me kaksi,

minä ja karvainen kaverini.

"Witness this new-made world, another Heaven
From Heaven-gate not far, founded in view
On the clear hyaline, the glassy sea;
Of amplitude almost immense, with stars
Numerous, and every star perhaps a world
Of destined habitation"

-J. Milton: Paradise Lost-
