    Faust, a masterpiece created by a universal genius, Goethe.
    Nietzsche said of Goethe "the exceptional German for which music worthy of him has not yet been found!"
    You should upload the final chorus of Mahler 8th Symphony, the closest thing to music worthy of Goethe.

    I think there's no language with more poetical power than the german language. It's because it can represent deep meanings with few words. And also, because the case system makes possible the inversion of the sentence order without disturbing the meaning, and so a german has a greater lexicon of poetical possibilites than any other language's poet. This poem by Goethe is just an additional prove of this.

      Ich bin jetzt nicht so ein "Kaiser-und-Vaterland" - Untertan. Dieses Lied hat eine Wahnsinns-Ausstrahlung, weniger wegen dem Vaterland, als wegen den verborgenen Elementen darin. Meine Lieblingsversion ist tatsächlich die der Leipziger Folk Session. ua-cam.com/video/QN0IsG_4fNU/v-deo.html . Mentalität voll eingefangen, Höhen und Tiefen, Größenwahn, Liebeswahn, Kummer und Gram und das alles mit Alkohol.

    Il était un roi de Thulé qui fut fidèle jusqu’au tombeau, et à qui son amie mourante fit présent d’une coupe d’or.
    Cette coupe ne le quitta plus ; il s’en servait à tous ses repas, et, chaque fois qu’il y buvait, ses yeux s’humectaient de larmes.
    Et, lorsqu’il sentit son heure approcher, il compta ses villes, ses trésors, et les abandonna à ses héritiers, mais il garda sa coupe chérie.
    Il s’assit à sa table royale, entouré de ses chevaliers, dans la salle antique d’un palais que baignait la mer.
    Ensuite il se leva, vida le vase sacré pour la dernière fois, et puis le lança dans les ondes.
    Il le vit tomber, s’emplir, disparaître, et ses yeux s’éteignirent soudain… Et, depuis, il ne but plus une goutte !
    Il était un roi de Thulé
    À qui son amante fidèle
    Légua, comme souvenir d’elle,
    Une coupe d’or ciselé.
    C’était un trésor plein de charmes
    Où son amour se conservait :
    À chaque fois qu’il y buvait
    Ses yeux se remplissaient de larmes.
    Voyant ses derniers jours venir,
    Il divisa son héritage
    Mais il excepta du partage
    La coupe, son cher souvenir.
    Il fit à la table royale
    Asseoir les barons dans sa tour ;
    Debout et rangée alentour,
    Brillait sa noblesse loyale.
    Sous le balcon grondait la mer.
    Le vieux roi se lève en silence,
    Il boit, - frissonne, et sa main lance
    La coupe d’or au flot amer !
    Il la vit tourner dans l’eau noire,
    La vague en s’ouvrant fit un pli,
    Le roi pencha son front pâli…
    Jamais on ne le vit plus boire.

    C'era in Tule un re che tenne

    La sua amante a morir venne
    ed un nappo d'or gli diè.
    Nulla caro ebbe mai tanto,
    vi beveva (1) a mensa ognor
    e in votarlo avea di pianto
    gli occhi carichi (2) e d'amor.
    Quand'eì pure venne a morte
    numerò le sue città
    all'erede le diè in sorte,
    ma il nappo d'or non già.
    Nella sala dell'avito
    suo castello in riva al mar
    fece a splendido convito
    i baroni radunar.
    Svanir vide la gioconda
    vita il vecchio bevitor
    ed infine giù nell'onda (3)
    gettò il sacro nappo d'or.
    Ir giù il vide e le tranquille
    acque rompere e sparir
    s'oscurar le sue pupille più
