leopard
This poem was written in 1902 165438+ October. Because of the hardships of life, Rilke has been at a loss. The contradiction between life and art is more direct and prominent in poor poets. This is an extremely difficult problem. Art requires poets to be more thorough and pure, but the big hand of life pulls you mercilessly to the necessities of life on your way. One is the body and the other is the soul. This inner entanglement once tortured Rilke. In addition, the poet's "most docile, kind and credulous" character determines that the world he pays attention to must be internal, and he tends to appear and disappear softly in the choice of artistic form. He is a "feminine" poet, sensitive to the connotation of the object, hiding himself in the object's body and blending with it. It is not the usual lyricism, but the unity of things and me, which may be his concept of "poetry of things" His short poems about things pioneered symbolism poetry.

leopard
His vision
From the passing bar
Has become so tired that it can't be held.
Anything else? In his opinion, there is
One thousand bars; Behind bars
There is no world.
Through the fence that passes from time to time, his eyes
Has become so tired that it is impossible
Even a glance. Seems to be in front.
A thousand railings; There is nothing behind the railing.
