Status Updates From Duino Elegies and The Sonne...

Finished the main sonnets. Now for the appendix and then finally done with this gorgeous collection

First part of the Sonnets is done.

6 more elegies down.

Five more sonnets done. Rilke might just be my favorite poet.

First 5 sonnets down. What greatness there is in these pages.

Appendix to Elegies done. After I go back and read the Foreword it’s time to start on the Sonnets!

Finally done with the primary Elegies (have the appendix to read) and yeah like some of the best poetry I’ve ever read.

Three Elegies down once again!

Man, these elegies are staggering even on a re-read. Nice to have uniformity.

Restarting since I finally had a consistent version. Picked up Stephen Mitchell’s bilingual copy of Duino and The Sonnets so getting to start over and really luxuriate in a uniform translation.
