ENG: Aino Kallas' father was a remarkable researcher of folklore, and he died early during Aino's childhood. Aino was married to Oskar Kallas and they has three children, at the time she was still in the beginning of her career as a writer - her "best" years were in between 1920 and 1930, her style being greatly influenced by numerous people, one of which was Eino Leino.

“Yet just as the day has two halves, one governed by the sun and the other by the moon, so there are many who are people of the day and who busy themselves with daytime deeds, whilst others are children of the night, their minds consumed with nocturnal notions; but yet there are some in whom the two merge like the rising of the sun and the moon in a day.”

“Her hair was copper-red, like the grass of the shore on which the spring floods leave their rust; but her eyes were dark, like the pools among the marshes, drawing the beholder down into their depths, and their surface was still as bog-water.”
Aino Kallas

“For as from the same piece of clay a potter may fashion either a pot or a tile, so the Devil may shape a witch into a wolf or a cat or even a goat, without subtracting from her and without adding to her at all. For this occurs just as clay is first molded into one, then shaped into another form, for the Devil is a potter and his witches are but clay.”
