Ich fühle: ich kann -und ich fasse den plastischen Tag.Nichts war noch vollendet, eh ich es erschaut,ein jedes Werden stand still.Meine Blicke sind reif, und wie eine Brautkommt jede...

text UNCOLLECTED POEMS by Ranier Maria Rilke

I like Rilke. I don't always understand his poetry. The poems in this book are from 1909-1926. Many are short. Some longer. Lots to ponder upon.

text Re-Imagining Rilke's Metaphor in Portuguese: "O Livro das Imagens" by Rilke, Maria João Costa Pereira

Published 2005. One of main reasons for having enrolled in German classes was just to be able to read Rilke in the original. That's how much I loved him. I still do. “Das Buch der Bilder” (The book of Images/O Livro das Imagens) was the book that showed me, back in the day, I still had a long road...

Every aspiring author should read this book, or at least its first letter: the one in which Rilke exposes what should truly motivate a writer.

text Duino Elegies

Πουθενά, Αγαπημένη, δεν θα υπάρχει Κόσμος, παρά εντός μας.Με μεταμόρφωση διαβαίνει ή ζωή μας, το εξωτερικό μας πάντοτεφθίνει και λιγοστεύει.Από τις πιο όμορφες ποιητικές συλλογές που διάβασα φέτος. Ενώ τα προηγούμενα έργα του Rilke με τα οποία ήρθα σε επαφή, μου φάνηκαν αδιάφορα, οι ελεγείες του Ντο...
