World is about to end, where you will go

Come! Lets make our world immortal

wine is about to finish, where you will go

Come! Lets drink from the eyes of each other

Everyone is worried, where you will go

Come, lets join to be happiness for each other

Nothing will live, where you will go

Ok so, this is a back-cover text on the Shape of Water novel

And I was like

Irminsul (The Sacred Tree)

A small history lesson for anyone who is interested.This post is neither meant as political nor ideological, not even critical.

A modern German is not necessarily a Saxon, an Englishman however is Anglo-Saxon or Frisian, a Saxon lives in Northern Germany but is not High German, Continental Saxons live among other Germans unaware of their origin unless they look up their names.

The Continental Saxons living in what was known as Old Saxony (c. 531-804) appear to have become consolidated by the end of the 8th century. After subjugation by the Emperor Charlemagne, a political entity called the Duchy of Saxony (804-1296) appeared, covering Westphalia, Eastphalia, Angria and Nordalbingia (Holstein, southern part of modern-day Schleswig-Holstein state).

The Saxons long resisted becoming Christians and being incorporated into the orbit of the Frankish kingdom. In 776 the Saxons promised to convert to Christianity and vow loyalty to the king, but, during Charlemagne's campaign in Hispania (778), the Saxons advanced to Deutz on the Rhine and plundered along the river. This was an oft-repeated pattern when Charlemagne was distracted by other matters.They were conquered by Charlemagne in a long series of annual campaigns, the Saxon Wars (772–804). With defeat came enforced baptism and conversion as well as the union of the Saxons with the rest of the Germanic, Frankish empire. Their sacred tree or pillar, a symbol of Irminsul, was destroyed.
