“His vision, from the constantly passing bars, has grown so weary that it cannot hold anything else. It seems to him there are a thousand bars; and behind the bars, no world.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, New Poems

Rainer Maria Rilke, New Poems: A Revised Bilingual Edition
“La vie - qui sait? - fut dédaignée peut-être.

mais pourtant accomplie et belle comme si
l'instant était venu de partir et sourire.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, New Poems
