The text for this small print comes from the Kalevala which is the Finnish epic poem, sort of like Finland’s Beowulf. In this part, a character is full of envy and tries to convince the gods to send terrible weather and bad fortune to her enemy, including a request that bears and cats attack his livestock. I like the way it describes a lurking cat.

From the wood, the curving clawed one,
’Neath the pines, the wide toothed monster,
But to range the paths of he,
And to prey upon his cattle.
