Thompson's label — the hero makes sun and moon, fastens them in the World-Tree, but they "give no light at first" (his words) — is staged in Rune XLIX as an instructive failure. With the true lights locked in Louhi's mountain, a maid begs the smith: "Forge from gold the Moon for Northland" [The Kalevala, Rune XLIX]. Wainamoinen warns him — "Not of gold is born the moonlight!" — but Ilmarinen forges on, "Wings the Moon of Magic upward, / Hurls it to the pine-tree branches", and "Then the silver Sun he stations / In an elm-tree on the mountain" [ibid.]. The treetops hold; the metal does not shine: "But the Sun shone not at morning" [ibid.]. Light returns by coercion, not craft: the smith turns to forging a collar for Louhi, "Stealer of the silver sunshine", and she, reading her fate, unlocks the mountain herself — a dove brings word "That the Sun has left his cavern" [ibid.]. Our one wired page thus carries the motif and its moral together: substitutes can be hung in the sky's trees, but the real lights have to be released.
