        Vienna is the city of music, the home of Mozart, the great inventor of the waltz, and the centre of classical music. The résumé sounds nice, but I want to listen to something else—something musical, something extraordinary—a show. A show in Vienna, the centre of class

【The Rats】

Georg Trakl (1887—1914)

         In the yard, the autumn moon shines white,

         The roof-edge drops fantastic shadows;

         Silence dwells in the empty windows

【Birth】

Georg Trakl (1887—1914)

     These mountains: blackness, silence, and snow.

     The red hunter climbs down from the forest;

     Oh the mossy gaze of the wild thing.

        The capital city of Vienna is probably the most famous place on our itinerary of Danube Castles and Legends. I've heard about it; you've known about it; Mom has seen it; celebrities want to live here, etc. However, Vienna's fame was built on musical notes, per

【Winter Evening】

Georg Trakl (1887—1914)

            When snow falls against the window,

          Long sounds the evening bell...

          For so many has the table

Georg Trakl (1887—1914)

         Not your dark poisons again,

【Mourning】

Georg Trakl (1887—1914)

        The dark eagles, sleep and death,

        Rustle all night around my head:

        The golden statue of a man

        Is swallowed by the ic

        Viking River Cruises are quite the adult ones. They primarily offer formal meals, bars for recreation, libraries, and lounges, which are distinct from those on an ocean ship, targeting a younger age group. Therefore, this trip could not be complete without a large portion

【Grodek】

Georg Trakl (1887—1914)

     In the evening the autumnal forests resound

     With deadly weapons, the golden plains

     And blue lakes, above them the sun

     Rolls more darkly by; night enfolds

       You dark mouth inside me,

       You are strong, shape

        The Sound of Music is probably the most significant American musical movie ever produced. In fact, it has accomplished feats that few movies have achieved in Hollywood. And no one knows why the movie was that successful. Perhaps most of it was filmed in Salzburg, Austria.

【Heart】

Georg Trakl (1887—1914)

        The wild heart grew white in the forest;

        Dark anxiety

        Of death, as when the gold

        Died in the grey cloud.

【At the Moor】

Georg Trakl (1887—1914)

     Wanderer in the blackened wind. Dry reeds whisper

     in the stillness of the moor. A column of savage birds

     ensues in the dawning sky.

     Over murky waters, they cross.

        Living in the Greater Philadelphia Area, you get a little of everything. From a blazing heatwave to a meter of snow, a person who lives in that area gets a good overall view of the weather. But as I continued to travel, I discovered the far ends of the spectrum. The Sahar

【Trumpets】

Georg Trakl (1887—1914)

    Under the trimmed willows, where brown children are playing

     And leaves tumbling, the trumpets blow. A quaking of cemeteries.

     Banners of scarlet rattle through the sadness of maple trees,

     Riders along rye-ʂ

【Swan】

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875—1926)

         This toiling at tasks that remain to be done,

         this trudging as if bound, in a heavy way,

         is like the ungainly gait of the swan.

        A new city, a new country, and, therefore, a new culture… sort of. Seeing new worlds in person is always interesting, and the differences between countries are always surprising. However, when the border doesn't even require a passport check to cross, it shows the si
