Google translates that into English as: "The long sobbing violins of autumn hurt my heart with a monotonous languor." Believe me, an AGI is potentially capable of appreciating the sounds of the verse and other such nuances. I won't go into the details, but the input sentence would be represented as a raw sensory event, and it is up to abductive interpretation to derive its meanings. That means, the AGI would understand it superficially as "The long sobbing violins... etc", but augmented with other logic formulae that convey other nuances. You're talking about some very suble effects and that's not my focus right now. Right now I'm focusing on simple and practical AGI. Your stuff is potentially solvable by logic-based AGI, but I won't be spending time on it now.
