Notes from Wikiquote

O wretched me, can't live, nor part | my heart throbs not, but tingles, and rings! | O dire fate, the hardest lot | no peace grants the night, the day no less | no mercy shows time, nor eternity | just a jeering and tingling heart-less-ness. | Eino Leino. "The Harp-of-the-Wind," (1905), Leevi Lehto (transl.), in: Leevi Lehto. Leevi Lehto. Finnish poetry: then and now, January 2005. Published online at upenn.edu. Accessed 20-03-2013
