Rilke on Love and Other Difficulties: Translations and Considerations
Rilke on Love and Other Difficulties: Translations and Considerations | Rainer Maria Rilke
2 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
Combining passion and sensitivity, the poems on love presented here are often not only sensual but sexual as well. Others pursue perennial themes in his work death and life, growth and transformation. The book concludes with Rilke's reflections on wisdom and openness to experience, on grasping what is most difficult and turning what is most alien into that which we can most trust "

Half commentary, half original Rilke compositions. It‘s a slim volume and, yet, it took me ages to finish reading.

Couldn‘t resist sharing this New Yorker cartoon. It reminds me of the tagged volume, which has some wonderful essays as well as poems. #ReadingAroundTheWorld #Germany #Rilke #Poetry
