“Since the mighty oak has fallen, / Now has lost its hundred branches, / That the North may see the sunshine, / See the gentle gleam of moonlight, / That the clouds may keep their courses, / May extend the vault of heaven / Over every lake and river, / O’er the banks of every island. / Groves arose in varied beauty, / Beautifully grew the forests.” (Kalevala, rune 2. | Elias Lönnrot. Translated by: John Martin Crawford)

Arabic calligraphy text in Arabic (original):

“وحين وقعت السنديانة / هوت الشجرة البائسة / تمكنت الشمس من الإشراق / والقمر من التجلي / وجرى الغمام كسابق عهده / وحنية السماء تقوست / ونمت أحراش حريصة على النمو.” (كاليفالا، النّشيد 2. | إلياس لونروت. ترجمة: سحبان أحمد مروة)

    Arabic calligraphy text in English:
    “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” (Psalm 23)

    “الرب راعيّ فلا يعوزني شيء. في مراع خضر يربضني. الى مياه الراحة يوردني. يرد نفسي.يهديني الى سبل البر من اجل اسمه. ايضا اذا سرت في وادي ظل الموت لا اخاف شرا لانك انت معي. عصاك وعكازك هما يعزيانني. ترتب قدامي مائدة تجاه مضايقيّ. مسحت بالدهن راسي. كاسي ريا. انما خير ورحمة يتبعانني كل ايام حياتي واسكن في بيت الرب الى مدى الايام.” (مزمور 23)
