Rainer Maria Rilke Quotes

Praise The World To The Angel, Not What Can't Be Talked About.
You Can't Impress Him With Your Grand Emotions. In The Grand Cosmos
where He So Intensely Feels, You're Just A Novice. So Show
him Some Simple Thing Shaped For Generation After Generation
until It Lives In Our Hands And In Our Eyes, And It's Ours.
Tell Him About Things. He'll Stand Amazed, Just As You Did
beside The Ropemaker In Rome Or The Potter On The Nile.
Show Him How Happy A Thing Can Be, How Innocent And Ours;
how Even Grief's Lament Purely Determines Its Own Shape,
serves As A Thing, Or Dies In A Thing - And Escapes
In Ecstasy Beyond The Violin.
