Rainer Maria Rilke

“Things are not all as graspable and sayable as on the whole we are led to believe; most events are unsayable, occur in a space that no word has ever penetrated, and most unsayable of all are works of art, mysterious existences whose life endures alongside ours, which passes away.”

Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
