Top Anna Maria Rilke Quotes
Rainer Maria Rilke sacrificed everything
For his art he dedicated himself
To the Great Work
I admired his single-mindedness
All through my twenties
I argued his case
Now I think he was a jerk
For skipping his daughter's wedding
For fear of losing his focus
He believed in the ancient enmity
Between daily life and the highest work
Or Ruth and the Duino Elegies
It is probably a middle-class prejudice
Of mine to think that Anna Akhmatova
Should have raised her son Lev
Instead of dumping him on her husband's mom
Motherhood is a bright torture she confessed
I was not worthy of it
Lev never considered it sufficient
For her to stand outside his prison
Month after month clutching packages
And composing Requiem for the masses — Edward Hirsch
