The Final Purpose of the World Story

I recently began exploring the works of Georg Philipp Friedrich von Hardenberg, who is better  -- and more mercifully -- known by his pen name, Novalis.

By exploring I mean dipping into and sampling, which is something I tend to do with poetry and philosophy. The initial sampling/dipping phase helps me determine if I should commit to reading and studying the author more thoroughly.

​Novalis passed the sampling "test" rather quickly with this short, unnumbered fragment:

Love works magic. 
It is the final purpose
of world history,
The Amen of the universe.

Original:

Die Liebe wirkt magisch.
Sie ist der Endzweck
der Weltgeschichte,
das Amen des Universums.
