Rainer Maria Rilke Quotes
That's My Window. This Minute
So Gently Did I Alight
From Sleep--was Still Floating In It.
Where Has My Life Its Limit
And Where Begins The Night?
I Could Fancy All Things Around Me
Were Nothing But I As Yet;
Like A Crystal's Depth, Profoundly
Mute, Translucent, Unlit.
I Have Space To Spare Inside Me
For The Stars, Too: So Full Of Room
Feels My Heart; So Lightly
Would It Let Go Of Him, Whom
For All I Know I Have Started
To Love, It May Be To Hold.
Strange, As If Never Charted,
Stares My Fortune Untold.
Why Is It I Am Bedded
Beneath This Infinitude,
Fragrant Like A Meadow,
Hither And Thither Moved,
Calling Out, Yet Fearing
Someone Might Hear The Cry,
Destined To Disappearing
Within Another I.
