Explanation Supposing Books The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke

Parallel German text and English translation. The influence and popularity of Rilke’s poetry in America have never been greater than they are today, more than fifty years after his death. Rilke is unquestionably the most significant and compelling poet of romantic transformation, of spiritual quest, that the twentieth century has known. His poems of ecstatic identification with the world exert a seemingly endless fascination for contemporary readers. In Stephen Mitchell’s versions, many readers feel that they have discovered an English rendering that captures the lyric intensity, fluency, and reach of Rilke’s poetry more accurately and convincingly than has ever been done before. Mr. Mitchell is impeccable in his adherence to Rilke’s text, to his formal music, and to the complexity of his thoughts; at the same time, his work has authority and power as poetry in its own right. Few translators of any poet have arrived at the delicate balance of fidelity and originality that Mr. Mitchell has brought off with seeming effortlessness. Originally published: New York : Random House, 1982.

Notice About Books The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke

I haven't read a poem since high school. In fact, I had forgotten how to read poetry. Best advice I found was to read it literal. And so I did. And let me tell you, from the first poem to the last, I fell in love with Rilke over and over and over again. Some touched my heart while others played with my mind. They riddled my thoughts giving me the opportunity to dig deeper, for an understanding. And the deeper I dug the more profound the verses became. I highly recommend Rilke to anyone who likes

Du im Voraus Verlone Geliebte, Nimmergekimmene, Nicht weiss ich, welche Tone dir lieb sind. Nicht mehr versuch ich, dich, wenn das Kommenende wogt, Zu erkennen. Alle die grossen Bilder in mir, im Fernen erfahrene Landschaft, Stadte und Turme und Brucken und un- Vermutete Wedung der Wege Und das Gewaltige jener von Gottern Einst durchwachsenen Lander: Steigt zur Bedeutung in mir Deiner, Entgehende, an. You who never arrived In my arms, Beloved, who were lost From the start, I don't even know what

Honorary "dragons" shelving for being just that awesome.EDIT:Also, I think I've read all the poems and most of the extra stuff, but I'm not sure if I consider this as "read," yet. I think it's going to stay on the currently-reading shelf until I learn German and French so as to be able to read the pre-translated half (so it's quite possible that this book shall never be "read"). Seriously, Rilke has made me want to learn German and French so I can read his stuff in the original languages (and

this is my absolute favorite book in the world. it's so much a favorite, i didn't even add it to my favorites list. it's even more favoriter than that!

Rainer Maria Rilke, the eternal beginner, had troublesome childhood, his birth had been preceded by that of a daughter, who had died in infancy, and his mother apparently tried to console herself for this loss by pretending, so long as she possibly could, that Rene (his original name) was a girl. The early prose tales, he wrote, were more subjective and naturalistic and often reveal, despite some grotesque lapses of taste, that he had a remarkably keen eye for the individuality of people and

I've always been somewhat partial to Robert Bly's translations, but this was amazing in its own right. Skipped the German parts because I didn't understand, but I loved the two poems from "The Book of Hours" (which is something I should probably find soon), and of course, "You who never arrived" and "As once the winged energy of delight."
