About the author
Rainer Maria Rilke
1,918 books7,236 followersA mystic lyricism and precise imagery often marked verse of German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose collections profoundly influenced 20th-century German literature and include
The Book of Hours
(1905) and
The Duino Elegies
(1923).
People consider him of the greatest 20th century users of the language.
His haunting images tend to focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety — themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets.
His two most famous sequences include the Sonnets to Orpheus , and his most famous prose works include the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge .
He also wrote more than four hundred poems in French, dedicated to the canton of Valais in Switzerland, his homeland of choice.

Give me, O Earth, for keeping
tears, of your purest clay.
Pour, O my being, the weeping,
lost within you, away.
Let the withheldness flow where
that will receive which should.
Nothing is bad but the nowhere,
all that exists is good.

«Αυτό είναι η νοσταλγία : να κατοικείς στα κύματα και πατρίδα να μην έχεις μες στα χρόνια.
Κι αυτό είναι οι επιθυμίες : σιγανά συνομιλήματα καθημερινών ωρών μετά αιώνια.»
