Silmittömät; The Eyeless Ones

 

 

Silmittömät

Silmittömät
eivät näe,
kun joku tekee
taiten silmillään,
ajattelee sydämellään.
He pysyttävät vain
tunnustelemaan
itseään

Eyeless

Eyeless
Don’t see
When someone does
With the own eyes,
Thinks with the heart.
They can only touch
And feel themselves.

In the Finnish language, the word ”silmitön” means that someone doesn’t have eyes. Still, it also means the über –behavior; thus someone can be ”silmittömän raivon vallassa” => (to be) in a violent rage or ”pako oli silmitön” => It was the headlong flight, etc. The eyeless human being (silmitön ihminen) is out of control and usually thinks his own best.
