Poems by Rainer Maria Rilke
The Stylite
... When rainy weather screened him from their eyes ...
Elegy I
... back into itself, as if such creative forces could never be ...
Duino Elegies
... they are weaned from earth's sorrows and joys as gently as children ...
The Gazelle
... loaded with leaps but not fired while your neck ...
The Grownup
... the swift-as-flight, the fleeting, the far-gone, ...
The Second Elegy
... mirrors which scoop up the beauty that has streamed from their face ...
