After sunset, a white line appears on the sky, and in that situation a new moon is emerging, seeing this mood,

Imagination says that by the road of this shining line the sun is setting out, and this is not a new moon but rather the sky, in order to take leave of it, has opened an embrace.

(How can this meaning-creation and this beauty of expression and this elegance in assigning a cause be sufficiently praised.)

(The sun travels out of the sky, and the sky has opened up the embrace of the crescent moon. After sun set the line that shows itself just above the horizon is its track.)

(A traveller setting out on a journey, being seen of with a farewell embrace.)
