Tallinn love is restrained and taciturn. It is addressed not to the present, but to the past. It is woven into the fabric of streets and squares. She may seem naive and provincial, but never false and vulgar. Sublime and down-to-earth, romantic and artless, platonic and the most carnal, being in an endless duel with its opponents - oblivion and death, it sounds like an inexhaustible source of urban folklore. Legends and traditions are a declaration of the townspeople’s love for their hometown. To hear them, to recognize them, to feel them, to find the rational grain in stories that seem at first glance like fairy tales means to truly understand Tallinn.
