Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke

[Charles]

"I live my life in widening rings,
that stretch out over things.
I will not complete the last one perhaps
but I want to try."

Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke in English


:

[AditiArora]

My eyes already touch the sunny hill.
going far beyond the road I have begun,
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;
it has an inner light, even from a distance-

and changes us, even if we do not reach it,
into something else, which, hardly sensing it,
we already are; a gesture waves us on
answering our own wave…
but what we feel is the wind in our faces.
