"After playing a couple of dances the man stopped claiming that he knew nothing else... We forgot about the kantele player. He sat alone in the corner with his kantele on his knees, staring ahead. Slowly, he began to play. Softly at first, then in raptures warming up, then softly again."
"When we told him that it was just what we wanted to hear and asked what the music was, he answered that it was nothing. He was only playing his own might. We left him alone, and went about with our own chores. But the musician, with no one asking him questions and left in peace, played all evening, and we listened to him to our delight."
