What Members Thought
A small and exceptionally rich volume. If you want to pore over a book, to sit and think deeply about life and art - this is a good book for that. I'm generally amenable to much of Rilke's opinions (though not fully - there are certainly points of difference), which makes this especially enjoyable, but even this: This is a lovely, lovely book that I know I will return to over and over, much as I return to Gibran or Yeats.

Stunning.
Read it several times before. Definitely a book to keep returning to. "Learn to love the questions," Rilke says. A challenge to keep reminding yourself of as the questions change at different stages of life.

These letters are so beautiful in sentiment and language.
I wish we all spoke like Rilke writes.
