Found this link which contains the original of Goethe's poem plus context and other translation. I think AI from all poetry did it's best but didn't capture the irony of the poem:https://copticliterature.wordpress.c...isches-lied-i/
"Memory of sun seeps from the heart."."Memory of Sun" by Anna Akhmatova
https://allpoetry.com/Memory-Of-Sun
Interesting differences in the 'interpretations of Goethe's poem. The one I chose seems to be from 1853.
Enjoyed the poem and analysis. Don't understand why the following was included: "Maybe it's better I did not become / Your wife."... perhaps echoing desolation ?
"Narrow path sunless temple locust tree" - Wang Wei; Temple Tree Path... https://allpoetry.com/Temple-Tree-Path
The lyrical voice seems to write about a time when she got involved with someone. At the time she maybe wanted to marry him. A more personal memory perhaps among more general ones.?
Beautiful Wang Wei poem.. One difficulty in translating from Chinese, is that the Chinese language seemingly doesn't use articles, prepositions and other words that act as links between the main significants.
