  • Thank you.

  • Every angel is terrible...

  • [Rilke--> i.e., Real ka] Thanks for reading. You may also like the Stephen Mitchell translation.

  • rilke...look my video from the coast where rilke wrote the elegies!

  • Thanks for reading. I liked the part of it being hard to be dead and full of retrieval before gradually feeling eternity. It was thought provoking and made me think of the universe and of how on some level all times could exist at once.

  • I have always heard his name as Ril-kay ( accent on the first syllable ). We can read this for ourselves. You miss the unique opportunity to comment on the work for a global audience. Tell us what you think he is saying and how well he said it. Do a review of Cocteau's film Blood Of A Poet. It is full of autobio and classical ideas mixed with Goddess worship. I will help you.

  • I have always heard his name as Ril-kay ( accent on first syllable ). We can read this stuff ourselves. You miss the unique opportunity of You Tube to send a commentary to the world. What do you think about it and how much did you understand ?

  • No, go ahead and read to us, Matt. "We are not really at home in the interpreted world." We need to hear you say this, not just the little voice in our heads, as we read with our eyes. "Even his failing was only a pretext for beginning his latest rebirth." In other words, the hero begins by failing. "Listen to the breath, the unbroken message that creates itself from the silence." The universal yoga is our breathing together, our con-spiring to be omnipresent in each other. We need to listen!

  • Thanks for reading the Duino Elegies, I never listened to it in English before, but the translation is very well accomplished. I personally consider this the most beautiful work of German poetry since Hölderlin. Have you already read Heidegger´s interpretations of Hölderlin? He shows a great sensibility for poetry and beauty in general.
