Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 1, sentence 122
As these were in fact poetry, or chanted in rude measure, I had at first the intention to give them in English in their original form and to group all those referring to the divinity in an epic, as Lönnrot made the Finnish Kalevala, or Homer his own great works.
Who acts: these, I, those, Lönnrot, Poems · What happens: be, chant, have, give, refer, make · To what, where: fact poetry, rude measure, intention, Poems, English, epic
