Bir de bugun Der Leiermann'i kesfettigim gundur. Böyle sisli bir gune yakisirdi zaten Winterreise, Schubert.

Sisli havada, karlarin arasinda ilerleyen atli siyah bir araba canlaniyor insanin gözunde. Atlarin toynak seslerine arada karisan havlayan köpek ve ya uluyan kurt sesleri... Sallaniyor araba iki yana, bazen hopluyor, yerine oturuyor sonra. Soguk.

Zamanin sonsuzlugu hissediliyor ve yalnizligin mutlakligi.

Yanilmamisim: "The unifying themes across all the poems/songs are those of despair and self-pity. We follow a lovesick and broken-hearted man on a cold bleak journey. He recalls his lost love and the memories of spring as he ventures into the winter wilderness. Along the way, he makes observations of things and places that he encounters: a weather vane, a lime tree, a river, a charcoal-burner's hut, a crow, a single leaf in a tree, a postman, an inn in a village. Finally, in the last song, the traveller meets up with an organ-grinder. In describing the organ-grinder, the traveller realizes that he is describing himself: a broken man, turned away by the world, standing off from everyone else, pretty much a social outcast, but continuing to grind away at the organ of life.

Schubert composed the music to Winterreise towards the end of his life, and some say that the text of the poems mirrors Schubert's own despair as he reflects on the disappointments in his love life, his feeling of being an outsider, the pain caused by the withdrawal of public support, and the growing realization that the end of his life was approaching (he suffered from syphilis).
