About the author
Rainer Maria Rilke
1,889 books7,170 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.

A collection of his first poems. A few are outstanding, some are good, most are mediocre at best.
Some highlights:
"Darfst das Leben mit Würde ertragen,
nur die Kleinlichen macht es klein;
Bettler können dir Bruder sagen,
und du kannst doch ein König sein."
"Du siehst, ich will viel.
Vielleicht will ich Alles:
das Dunkel jedes unendlichen Falles
und jedes Steigens lichtzitterndes Spiel.
Es leben so viele und wollen nichts,
und sind durch ihres leichten Gerichts
glatte Gefühle gefürstet."
"Der Wald ist wild, die Welt ist weit,
mein Herz ist hell und groß;
es hält die blasse Einsamkeit
mein Haupt in ihrem Schoß."
