Who sent the powdered mind bleach in the mail, now? ... they probably thought it was anthrax.

Did Royko confess to seeing the Sex & the City movie?
Because I watched that dubbed in German and it was really funny, seeing the Beethoven love letter in English and hearing it spoken in German.

Personally, I find Unsterbliche Geliebte more profound. It has more weight on the hard, painful, dying part and less on the lovey dovey part and it makes my eyes swim.

does it not translate quite...literally, then? what's the different connotation, exactly?

<- nosy and very curious

This is really something personal, I think!
Unsterblich does mean "immortal".
But the "sterb" part of it comes from the word for "dying" (so more like "undying") and I find that the word just sounds very harsh with the german r in the middle. Kind of like dying itself.

Also, I've just always thought English sounds...rounder, softer, easier to swallow, more pleasant. German has more rough and hard expressions but also more precise, clear ones. It can be more harshly emotional. But that's a very very subjective view from someone who was raised with both languages.

So anyway immortal beloved sounds more like..."yeah yeah, go on daydreaming", to me. While the German expression sounds like Werther about to kill himself because Charlotte doesn't love him back Smile
