I have been to Southern Spain, the beautiful Andalucia: Granada, Sevilla and Cordoba with its ancient Moorish Heritage. Today I read this in the Saudi Aramco magazine about Washington Irving:

Thank you for your explanation, MRX67 and Welcome back!

 

Recently I was invited to a free Ramadan Dinner after sundown.

 

These Iftar dinners are they just for the poor only or also for the general public?

The  so called mercy tables of  Egypt’s are a most ubiquitous feature during Ramadan, they are a means through which this country’s Muslims try to deepen this faith.

 

With soaring food prices, free iftar meals are the only solace for poor Egyptians.

Question: Can somebody please inform me, do they  also exist in Turkey?

 Septembermorgen

 

Im Nebel ruhet noch die Welt,
Noch träumen Wald und Wiesen:
Bald siehst Du, wenn der Schleier fällt,
Den blauen Himmel unverstellt,
Herbstkräftig die gedämpfte Welt
In warmem Golde fließen.

September Morning

The world´s adream in fog´s embrace,
Still slumber woods and meadows:
But soon, through the dissolving lace,
You´ll see the blue of endless space,
The milder grace of autumn´s face
Transcending golden shadows.

 

Eduard Möricke

Mondnacht

Es war, als hätt der Himmel
Die Erde still geküßt,
Daß sie im Blütenschimmer
Von ihm nun träumen müßt.

Die Luft ging durch die Felder,
Die Ähren wogten sacht,
Es rauschten leis die Wälder,
So sternklar war die Nacht.

Und meine Seele spannte
Weit ihre Flügel aus,
Flog durch die stillen Lande,
Als flöge sie nach Haus.

 

Moonlit Night

It was like Heaven´s glimmer
caressed the Earth within
that in Her blossom´s shimmer
She had to think of Him.

The breeze was gently walking
through wheatfields near and far;
the woods were softly talking
so bright shone ev´ry star.

Whereat my soul extended
its wings towards skies to roam:
O´er quiet lands, suspended,
my soul was flying home.

 

Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff

Canli, I am sure you know Wolfgang von Goethe

 

Ich denke dein,
    wenn mir der Sonne schimmer		 I think of you,
    when I see the sun´s shimmer
Vom Meere strahlt; Gleaming from the sea.
Ich denke dein,
    wenn sich des Mondes Flimmer		 I think of you,
    when the moon´s glimmer
In Quellen malt. Is reflected in the springs.
   
Ich sehe dich,
    wenn auf dem fernen Wege		 I see you,
    when on the distant road
Der Staub sich hebt, The dust rises,
In tiefer Nacht,
    wenn auf dem schmalen Stege		 In deep night,
    when on the narrow bridge
Der Wandrer bebt. The traveler trembles.
   
Ich höre dich,
    wenn dort mit dumpfem Rauschen		 I hear you,
    when with a dull roar
Die Welle steigt. The wave surges.
Im stillen Haine geh´ ich oft zu lauschen, In the quiet grove I often go to listen
Wenn alles schweigt. When all is silent.
   
Ich bin bei dir,
    du seist auch noch so ferne,		 I am with you,
    however far away you may be,
Du bist mir nah! You are next to me!
Die Sonne sinkt,
    bald leuchten mir die Sterne.		 The sun is setting,
    soon the stars will shine upon me.
O wärst du da! If only you were here!
