Rainer Maria Rilke sacrificed everything
For his art he dedicated himself
To the Great Work

I admired his single-mindedness
All through my twenties

He believed in the ancient enmity
Between daily life and the highest work
Or Ruth and the Duino Elegies

For her to stand outside his prison
Month after month clutching packages

And composing Requiem for the masses — Edward Hirsch
