| | Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) |
 | | Rilke's diaries and letters, lively with tales of self-dislike and depression, seem to out-Kafka Kafka himself. | | | These verses are from his late masterpiece, the Duino Elegies, which Rilke completed in 1922, the literary annus mirabilis that saw the publication of Joyce's Ulysses and Eliot's The Waste Land. | | | But for Rilke the poet, modern men and women as lovers--their exalted expectations and their comi-tragic desperation--came to symbolize complex human fate in a world where vertiginous possibilities have replaced God and nature. |

| | Rainer Maria Rilke |
| | Rilke made the passage from the exquisite musicality and introverted world-weariness of fin-de-siècle verse to a muscular clarity in New Poems and then opened up new realms of experience in the Duino Elegies. | | | The Duino Elegies may only be understandable to those familiar with Rilke's own states of mind, which resulted from an intensely private and solitary existence. | | | Though the Duino Elegies have become central to contemporary debate on language and meaning, older readers admired Rilke for making the German language a more flexible, precise and sensitive medium. |

| | Library Journal - Amassing a Poet's Wisdom |
| | Rilke is a decidedly modern poet who holds on to the promise of our ability to move beyond our condition—even after the death of God and the vanishing of all kinds of master narratives of redemption. | | | Rilke believed in love, even when and maybe because he understood how love can be the deception we need and want in life, to make life livable. | | | The result is a book filled with wisdom, at once practical and as heartbreaking as Rilke's poems. |

| | washingtonpost.com: Devil or Angel |
| | Perplexed by this strange yet powerfully seductive verse, many readers would welcome a reliable guide, one that would clarify Rilke's "passionate affirmations of life that must at once be denied." Freedman announces in his preface that he hopes to offer a critical biography that will interpret both the poems and their author. | | | A reader absolutely new to Rilke should start with Stephen Mitchell's edition of the Selected Poetry and his translation of Malte Laurids Brigge, followed by Snow's two-volume edition of New Poems. | | | Yet for all his Uriah Heepishness, Rilke must have possessed undeniable charm -- else how do you explain the veneration in which he was held by so many, from soft-hearted ladies to hard-headed publishers. |

| | Composed in 1899 when Rilke was only twenty-three, the interconnected tales of Stories of God were inspired by a trip to Russia the young poet had made the year previously. | | | Written when the poet was himself still a young man, with most of his greatest work before him, they were addressed to a student who had sent Rilke some of his own writing... | | | Gleaned from Rainer Maria Rilke’s voluminous, never-before-translated correspondence, this volume offers the best writings and personal philosophy of one of the twentieth century’s greatest poets. |

| | WashingtonPost.com: Life of a Poet : Rainer Maria Rilke |
| | Many of Rilke's stories and poems, early and late, are filled with both tender maidens and knights and soldiers, most notably his famous lyrical tale about a heroic death in combat after a night of tender love, his Lay of the Love and Death of Cornet Christoph Rilke. | | | Rilke described this episode to his daughter as late as 1924; the vivid details after more than forty years suggest the depth of the five-year-old's wish for change. | | | Later, his daughter and family liked to think of him as "his father's child through and a judgment obviously informed by the desire to show him as acceptable male rather than as his mother's pet. |

| | Describing his own translation, Gass calls himself "a jackal who comes along after the kill to nose over the uneaten hunks, keeps everything he likes."

| | little blue light - Rainer Maria Rilke |
| | Known as the greatest German poet since Goethe, Rilke has been attributed with transforming the German language into a poetic language with his dense, lyrical style, and his startling images that portray the complexities of modern life and their effects on the sensitive human being. | | | More than any other poet, Rilke embodies what one thinks of what a poet is---gloomy, passive, hypersensitive and delicate to the point of resembling a wilted flower taking in the last sunshine of its ephemeral life, or an overripe fruit laying out in the sun. | | | Shortly thereafter, Rilke moved into an artist's colony in Worpswede, where he met two important women, the first of whom would be his wife, the other of whom would be an abiding love of his in his own particular way, Clara Westhoff, and Paula Modershohn Becker, an noted artist in her own right. |
