Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
Thank you for your feedback, but before focusing on other details that could be later impacted, I would like to first debate the choice of tense. As I already explained to Vortarulo in the Esperanto version, I think the German "stirbt" here is not a present but a future. As such, I think it shouldn't be translated into a present in English or Esperanto.
As a matter of fact, I can't see why a dying person would kick that pillar. To me, the meaning of the sentence is like an omen. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I sense it. It's not because it's just a wordplay that it must not be consistent.
What do you think?
As for "leads over the river" I somehow sense that this is literal and doesn't really sound natural in English...I never heard that before...Do you confirm it does really sound natural?
also I sense that "in which lives the man, who owns the collar," is also a bit clearer, since the subject "the man" immediately precedes the next "who owns..."
>perform -> performs
The magical powers that perform miracles are a plural...
