yea, before google translate it would have been more interesting for sure 
. But it would also have excluded others a lot more.
btw I disagree that it is sad to see the sunrise when one is alone / in solitude.
German is kinda obsessed with the sadness/loneliness / being alone / solitude stuff (not saying other languages don't talk about it ofc). This bent in the culture is better left alone (there is a reason why they have such an insanely big goth/gothic/doom/black metal/darkwave scene). Just like French likes the sound of itself too much, German has this bend (there is a reason why some very famous philosophers come from there, e.g. the big names linked to nihilism). Plus German likes to over-complicate stuff in writing. End of today's language window haha. I wonder what one could say about English .
Oscar Wilde in German sounds like a punishment
