An intelligent woman with a captivating smile, she also became a passionate photographer, but it was thanks to her mother that she was able to realize her poetic vein. Thanks to the impulse of a Finnish-Swedish-speaking relative, around 1908 she made the decision to make Swedish the primary language of her writings. Edith Södergran https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/edith-sodergran has been able marvelously illustrate life through multiple stylistic means.

NOW IT HAS FALLEN – When all the golden birds fly home across the deep blue water, I sit on the shore, enraptured in its scattered glitter. Their departure rustles through the trees. This farewell is vast, and separation is approaching, but reunion is certain as well. With my head on my arm, I fall asleep easily. On my eyes the breath of a mother, from her mouth to my heart: sleep, daughter, and she dreams now that the sun is gone.
THE STARS – When night comes, I stand on the ladder and listen, the stars swarm in the garden and I am in the dark. Look, a star has fallen ringing! Do not go barefoot on the grass; my garden is full of splinters.
I DO NOT FEAR ANYTHING – I have energy. I fear nothing. Light is the sky for me. If it ruins the world, I do not ruin. My horizons stand bright above the stormy night of the earth. Get out of the mysterious light field! Unyielding, my strength waits.
YOUR NOSTALGIA – Your nostalgia is a sea you can navigate, your nostalgia is a ground you can walk on. Why are you then inert and discouraged, staring into space? A morning will come with a horizon that is redder than all the others; a wind will come to offer you its hand: get on your way!
