The topic of ultimate significance.

The three greatest poets in Europe in the 20th century, Ye Zhi, Eliot and Rilke.

Existence is meaning.

"Whoever is lonely at this time will always be lonely." Loneliness is the label of Rilke.

A poet who has wandered all his life. At the beginning of each letter, tell me where you are and how you feel. Very kind and warm.

People and people, like trees and trees, are all individuals and lonely beings.

This book has influenced many poets and musicians, because everyone is a "young poet". Constantly encourage and guide. To a bright future. Growth and completion.

Poetic world.

Rilke is not only a poet, but also a calligrapher. Letters are a very formal style. One thing, through the brewing before and after, the spread of emotions, will be very beautiful.

The flavor of lyrics: 1926 letters, dozens of precious letters between Zvetayeva, Pasternak, Zvetayeva and Rilke. The letter not only discussed the poem itself, but also exchanged their creations. These letters can not only let us know a rare story in the history of European poetry, but also give us a glimpse of the hearts of three great poets.

Meaningful things are difficult.

Salome Rodin. There is a movie "Rilke and Rodin".

Look at the universe with pure love. Object image. Leopard and autumn.

Later works, Duinau's elegy and sonnets written for Orville.

About artistic creation. Don't trust aesthetic criticism. Art is difficult to convey. "You see, now is the last thing you should do. No one can give you advice and no one can help you. There is only one way: please go to your heart. Explore the reasons for your writing and see if its roots are in your heart; You have to confess that if you can't write it, you will die of it. This is the most important thing: ask yourself in the quietest moment of the night: Do I have to write? You must dig out a profound answer in your heart. If the answer is yes, and you can answer that serious question with a strong and simple "I must", then build your life according to this need; Your life, until its most ordinary and trivial moment, must be a symbol and proof of this creative impulse. Then you will be close to nature. You should practice talking about what you have seen, experienced, loved and lost like a primitive man. " "Go into your heart and explore the depths of the origin of your life. In its origin, you will get the answer to the question, is it a "necessary" creation? "

About occupation. Nothing to do with life.

About love and loneliness. Patience. What is victory? Persistence is everything. It's people to people, not men to women. Two perfect and rich individuals. Love others with others.

About life and survival.

presentiment

I am surrounded by emptiness like a flag,

I felt a gust of wind and I had to put up with it.

Nothing happened down there,

The door closed gently, the chimney was silent,

The window doesn't move, and the dust is still heavy.

I recognized the storm and was as excited as the sea.

I stretched, curled back,

I'm out of myself, alone.

In a big storm.

At the Paris Botanical Garden

Its eyes were attracted by the endless iron fence.

I'm too tired to eat anything.

It seems to have only a thousand iron railings,

There is no universe behind a thousand fences.

Strong steps and gentle steps,

The pace rotates in this small circle,

As if the dance of power revolves around a center,

Great will is dizzy in the center.

Only when the eyes are raised silently-

So there's an immersive image,

Through the tense silence of the limbs—

Go up in smoke in my heart.

Paris, 1903

Orville's Sonnets (Selected Translation)

Volume 1, No.9 (Orville)

Who's the only one in the shadows?

Play the piano,

He can use induction.

Send endless praise.

Who's the only one with the victim?

Taste their poppies,

The tiniest phoneme

He will never get lost again.

Reflected in the pond

Perhaps often vague:

Remember this image.

In the field of yin and yang

Some voice talents

Permanent peace.

1922, Miso
