Rainer Maria Rilke Quotes

His Tired Gaze - From Passing Endless Bars -
has Turned Into A Vacant Stare Which Nothing Holds.
to Him There Seem To Be A Thousand Bars,
and Out Beyond These Bars Exists No World.
his Supple Gait, The Smoothness Of Strong Strides
that Gently Turn In Ever Smaller Circles
perform A Dance Of Strength, Centered Deep Within
a Will, Stunned, But Untamed, Indomitable.
but Sometimes The Curtains Of His Eyelids Part,
the Pupils Of His Eyes Dilate As Images
of Past Encounters Enter While Through His Limbs
a Tension Strains In Silence
only To Cease To Be, To Die Within His Heart.
[the Panther]
