“Now the sun will rise
As if nothing bad happened
During the night!
The tragedy only happened to me!
The sun shines regardless!
You must not clasp the night
In your arms,
You must steep it in eternal light!
A little lamp went out in my home!
All hail to the joyous light of the world!"
~ Friedrich Rückert (1788-1866)
