Joseph von Eichendorff's poem "Wünschelrute"
Can anyone help me to more fully understand this poem's meaning? I cannot find an accurate or approximate word in English that conveys the intended meaning of the title, "Wünschelrute". Happy to discuss poetry of any kind from German Romantics. Thank you.

Re:Manifest Destiny
This could be roughly translated as an "obvious certain outcome"

Manifest means the obvious, especially in a physical sense. A tree is manifestly a tree.

Destiny means a future outcome that has already been decided.. Destiny as a word has spiritual connotations - there is the idea that the future outcome has already been decided by a greater power i.e. God, who knows our destiny even if we, as mortals don't.

Manifest Destiny means that the destiny (or God's Plan) is now obvious even to mortals.

It is a term associated with American expansion during the pioneer / frontier period of AMerican history.

It is a term expressing or supporting the (supposed) righteousness of the American territorial domination as something that was God's Plan coming into being.

Re:Frontier Spirit
Hi,

The Frontier refers to the area on the edge of expanding urbanisation ( and is usually used in reference to the American West - i.e The Wild West).

Living on the frontier meant there was little in the way of civilisation, the people needed to work hard in rough conditions but did so for the promise of a better life and more freedom. On the frontier, possibilities were endless and anything was possible if you were prepared to work hard.

Therefore, they worked with a spirit of enterprise called the Frontier Spirit.

Help! What does nalogovat mean?
I'm learning Slovak and have come across this word "nalogovat", which doesn't return a result in any online dictionary.

It looks like a verb and it seems to have a fairly regular use in Slovensky websites but I can't find it's meaning anywhere.

Thanks!
