Book Description: University of California Press, 2001. Paperback. Book Condition: New. NEW ED. 110mm x 12mm x 184mm. Breath, you invisible poem! Pure exchange unceasing between the great ether and our existence. Counterweight in which I rhythmically occur.RAINER MARIA RILKE was one of Germany's most important poets. His influences include the paintings of the Worpswedders and the French Impressionists, the sculpture of Rodin (to whom he was both friend and secretary), and the poetry of Baudelaire, Verlaine, Mallarme and other symbolists. His poetry is innovative, enigmatic, and entertainingly idiosyncratic. C. F. MacIntyre's translations are both true to the original and poetic, and in each book he includes as introduction and notes. German text faces the English translation.Written with astonishing rapidity in two weeks of February, 1922, when Rilke was finally completing the Duino Elegies that had occupied him intermittently for a decade, Sonnets to Orpheus is a series of fifty-five brilliant and affirmative songs. It is in a sense a spontaneous creative dividend generated by a larger work. Because the sonnets were written only four years before Rilke's death, they belong properly to his final and philosophic period, and offer a sharp and striking contrast to the less mystical Das Buch der Bilder and Neue Gedichte. 142 pages.
