Und was wir nicht zu erhalten wissen,
Drückt sich tiefer unserm Herzen ein.
- Anna Louisa Karsch, An den Domherrn von Rochow
(I just spent an hour translating this poem. I cannot tell you what it means, but I can tell you that these lines are too beautiful and too precisely true to try to render them in any other language.)
