Admonishingly adorned with prescient, melancholy observation transmogrified into solemnly amorous combinations of symbols; Rilke's poetry and prose is sad, intelligent and, a common result of the partnership of those two qualities, beautiful. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/215395?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
