Poetry Quote by Rainer Maria Rilke — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“This is the creature there has never been.”

“O Stunden in der Kindheit,”

“Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.”

“It was not in me It came and went”

“Amid these fading and decaying things, be the glass that rings out as it's breaking.”

“If we surrendered”

“She’s always been a wild forest,”

“Sorrow (A Song)”

“Storm Ending”

“She had more of me then I had of myself. We were both wild birds chasing the stars. We’d lose our way and find new places, close our eyes and fall back towards a constellation of dreams. We wrapped ourselves in a blanket of passion and each night we fell deeper without control, into this strange space called love.”

“...if you do not even understand what words say, how can you expect to pass judgement on what words conceal?”

“I had a dove and the sweet dove died;”
