My Dear Kappus..

Let everything happen to you, beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.” These words reflect the introspective nature of the writer Rainer Maria Rilke. He, known among notable German lyric poets, has a profound connection to natural themes and a deep, contemplative approach. Exploring human inner experiences and the purpose of existence, he urges individuals to keep going.

Now, let’s delve into the context of the book “Letters to a Young Poet.” Young poet Franz Xavier Kappus sought advice and reactions on creativity, finding solace in Rilke’s wisdom. The book encapsulates Rilke’s advice, thoughts, ideals, and messages that have transformed in recent years into a self-inspired movement.

Every creation in the world rises in solitude, accompanied by the presence of sadness, desires, and passing thoughts. Sometimes unity is built, and while constructing one another’s unity, transformations occur, leading to losses. Poetry becomes a bit of ice during these.
