>And her pretended journey / finishing with thunderbolt ???
I am a fluent German.

Das Leben suchst du, suchst, und es quillt und glänzt
Ein göttlich Feuer tief aus der Erde dir,
Und du in schauderndem Verlangen
Wirfst dich hinab, in des Aetna Flammen.

That's not really translatable but here's one example of how it's done:

The Sun, in ancient guise, competing
With brother spheres in rival song,
With thunder-march, his orb completing,
Moves his predestin'd course along;

The sun sounds by the old way/ In brother sphere's [singing match]

>>11717313
And her prescribed journey/ She completes with [a peal of thunder]

>>11717330
Her sight gives the angels strength/ If none can fathom it

Type Harmonices Mundi Kepler into Google if you would like to know about geometric shapes and noises
This shit is about Kopernikus and how the earth moves and whatnot iirc
