"Biography of the Poet Rainer Maria Rilke"
A famous Austrian German poet. Rilke was lonely, sensitive and sickly since he was a child. Influenced by his father, he attended military school and later studied business. However, any career choice made him miserable, so he began to create art. During a period of time, Rilke traveled frequently and visited Russia, Italy, France, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Egypt. But this did not alleviate the pain of loneliness and contradiction in his heart. On the contrary, it gave him many new themes and continuous breakthroughs in his creation. His main works include "The Prayer Book", "Image Collection", "New Poems" (two volumes), the novel "Essays of Malte Lawlid Brigg", "Duino Elegy" and the poem "To Orr". Firth's Sonnets"***50 poems. Rilke was an outstanding and original poet, and his thoughts and creations bear the complex imprint of the transitional period between the two centuries. His early creations contain the local colors of Prague and the folk tones of Bohemia, but they have an overly fin-de-siècle sentiment, with mystery, dreaminess and sadness being the main features of this sentiment. Rilke was inspired by the eight months he spent as a secretary to the sculptor Rodin. From then on, he turned from the inner world to nature and reality; from expressing the subjective "I" to giving careful observation and accurate description of objective things. His poetry shifted from musicality to sculpture, opening up a new realm for poetry. In this field he demonstrated the beauty of music and the beauty of form. He also contributed to the creation of the German language and had a beneficial impact on the development of modern poetry.
