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

“His vision, from the constantly passing bars,”

“That’s love: Two lonely persons keep each other safe and touch each other and talk to each other.”

“She who reconciles the ill-matched threads”

“How surely gravity's law,”

“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.”

“Interior of the hand. Sole that has come to walk”

“This poem has been called obscure. I refuse to believe that it is obscurer than pity, violence, or suffering. But being a poem, not a lifetime, it is more compressed.”

“The answer to our existence lies in existence itself.”

“I’m not aspiring to be someone else – If I’m me for the rest of my life then so be it”

“Ah, the freshness in the face of leaving a task undone!”

“...But...to sing,”

“A wealth you cannot imagine”
