Today in Finland is Eino Leino Day, the Day of Poetry and Summer. He was a Finnish poet and journalist and is considered one of the pioneers of Finnish poetry. Among the most known of his works is the "Song of Happiness" (Laulu onnesta), with a popular Finnish quote "Let the one who has happiness, hide it (Kell` onni on, se onnen kätkeköön)". This gives a glimpse into the Finnish mindset of modesty.
