Dichtung

Dichtung is a German word that literally translates as "literature" or "poetry," but when it appears in the phrase "Dichtung und Wahrheit," "Dichtung" translates as "fact." The phrase means "fact and fiction."
=="The Man with the Blue Guitar"==
The phrase "Dichtung und Wahrheit" appears in Stevens' poem "The Man with the Blue Guitar":
 A few final solutions, like a duet
 With the undertaker: a voice in the clouds,
 
 Another on earth, the one a voice
 Of ether, the other smelling of drink,
 
 The voice of ether prevailing, the swell
 Of the undertaker's song in the snow
 
 Apostrophizing wreaths, the voice
 In the clouds serene and final, next
 
 The grunted breath scene and final,
 The imagined and the real, thought
 
 And the truth, Dichtung und Wahrheit, all
 Confusion solved, as in a refrain
 
 One keeps on playing year by year,
 Concerning the nature of things as they are.[1]
