Girls, there are poets who learn from you to say, what you, in your aloneness, are; and they learn through you to live distantness, as the evenings through the great stars become accustomed to eternity.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

How I will cherish you then, ...

How I will cherish you then, you grief-torn nights! Had I only received you, inconsolable sisters, on more abject knees, only buried myself with more abandon in your loosened hair. How we waste our afflictions! We study them, stare out beyond them into bleak continuance, hoping to glimpse some end. Whereas they're really our wintering foliage, our dark greens of meaning, one of the seasons of the clandestine year -- ; not only a season --: they're site, settlement, shelter, soil, abode.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

At the bottom no one in life ...

At the bottom no one in life can help anyone else in life; this one experiences over and over in every conflict and every perplexity: that one is alone. That isn't as bad as it may first appear; and again it is the best thing in life that each should have everything in himself; his fate, his future, his whole expanse and world.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

For poems are not, as people ...

For poems are not, as people think, simply emotions (one has emotions early enough)-they are experiences.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

I want to unfold. I don't wan...

I want to unfold. I don't want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie, and I want my grasp of things to be true. I want to describe myself like a painting that I looked at closely for a long time, like a saying that I finally understood, like the pitcher I use every day, like the face of my mother, like a ship that carried me through the wildest storm of all.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Most people have turned their...

Most people have turned their solutions toward what is easy and toward the easiest side of the easy; but it is clear that we must trust in what is difficult; everything alive trusts in it.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

I would like to sing someone ...

I would like to sing someone to sleep, to sit beside someone and be there. I would like to rock you and sing softly and go with you to and from sleep. I would like to be the one in the house who knew: The night was cold. And I would like to listen in and listen out into you, into the world, into the woods. The clocks shout to one another striking, and one sees to the bottom of time. And down below one last, strange man walks by and rouses a strange dog. And after that comes silence. I have laid my eyes upon you wide; and they hold you gently and let you go when something stirs in the dark.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

But because truly being here ...

But because truly being here is so much; because everything here apparently needs us, this fleeting world, which in some strange way keeps calling to us. Us, the most fleeting of all.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Perhaps then, some day far in...

Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Animals see the unobstructed ...

Animals see the unobstructed world with their whole eyes. But our eyes, turned back upon themselves, encircle and seek to snare the world, setting traps for freedom.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Who, if I cried out, would he...

Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels'hierarchies? and even if one of thempressed me against his heart: I would be consumedin that overwhelming existence. For beauty is nothingbut the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure,and we are so awed because it serenely disdainsto annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

You, God, who live next door ...

You, God, who live next door - If at times, through the long night, I trouble you with my urgent knocking - this is why: I hear you breathe so seldom. I know you're all alone in that room. If you should be thirsty, there's no one to get you a glass of water. I wait listening, always. Just give me a sign! I'm right here... Sen kom?u tanr?, Uzun geceler bazen, Kap?na vura vura uyand?r?yorsam seni Soluman? seyrek duydu?umdand?r... Bilirim, yaln?zs?n odanda. Sana bir?ey gerekse kimse yok, Bir yudum su versin arad???nda. Hep dinlerim, yeter ki bir ses edin, ?yle yak?n?m sana.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

only someone who is ready for...

only someone who is ready for everything, who doesn't exclude any experience, even the most incomprehensible, will live the relationship with another person as something alive and will himself sound the depths of his own being.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

May what I do flow from me li...

May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Now I come to you full of fut...

Now I come to you full of future. And from habit we begin to live our past.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

It seems to me that almost al...

It seems to me that almost all our sadnesses are moments of tension, which we feel as paralysis because we no longer hear our astonished emotions living.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

the longer I live, the more n...

the longer I live, the more necessary it seems to me to endure, to copy the whole dictation of existence to the end, for it might be that only the last sentence contains that small, perhaps inconspicuous word through which all laboriously learned and not understood orients itself toward glorious sense.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Whoever has no house now, wil...

Whoever has no house now, will never have one. Whoever is alone will stay alone, will sit, read, write long letters through the evening, and wander on the boulevards, up and down, restlessly, while dry leaves are blowing.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Somewhere there is an ancient...

Somewhere there is an ancient enmity between our daily life and the great work. Help me in saying it, to understand it.

Rainer Maria Rilke 541 quotes

Be patient with all that is u...

Be patient with all that is unsolved in your life. Learn to love the questions themselves, until some distant day, without your knowing, you will have lived into the answers.
