Implication and inference

Today was Nepal Bandh, again no cars, no pollution but still no normal life as well. My day was also pretty abnormal stayed at home almost the whole afternoon, cleaned my room (after a very long time). And soon there is load shedding as well so it will be a short day today, the lights go out from 9 till 1 in the night so will be in bed very early today. Kein Probleme.

Have been reading poems of Goethe lately (again) and some are really nice. No wonder even Rammstein have covered some of his work (Heidenröslein became Rosenrot and Erl-König became Dalai Lama). This one is also nice.

Nähe des Geliebten

Nearness of the Beloved One

Ich denke dein, wenn mir der Sonne schimmer Vom Meere strahlt; Ich denke dein, wenn sich des Mondes Flimmer In Quellen malt. Ich sehe dich, wenn auf dem fernen Wege Der Staub sich hebt, In tiefer Nacht, wenn auf dem schmalen Stege Der Wandrer bebt. Ich höre dich, wenn dort mit dumpfem Rauschen Die Welle steigt. Im stillen Haine geh' ich oft zu lauschen Wenn alles schweigt. Ich bin bei dir, du seist auch noch so ferne, Du bist mir nah! Die Sonne sinkt, bald leuchten mir die Sterne. O wärst du da!

I think of you, when I see the sun's shimmer Gleaming from the sea. I think of you, when the moon's glimmer Is reflected in the springs. I see you, when on the distant road The dust rises, In deep night, when on the narrow bridge The traveler trembles. I hear you, when with a dull roar The wave surges. In the quiet grove I often go to listen When all is silent. I am with you, however far away you may be, You are next to me! The sun is setting, soon the stars will shine upon me If only you were here!
