About the author
Rainer Maria Rilke
1,823 books6,993 followersA mystic lyricism and precise imagery often marked verse of German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose collections profoundly influenced 20th-century German literature and include
The Book of Hours
(1905) and
The Duino Elegies
(1923).
People consider him of the greatest 20th century users of the language.
His haunting images tend to focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety — themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets.
His two most famous sequences include the Sonnets to Orpheus , and his most famous prose works include the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge .
He also wrote more than four hundred poems in French, dedicated to the canton of Valais in Switzerland, his homeland of choice.

Ik heb een beetje een haat-liefdeverhouding met poëzie. Dat wil zeggen dat mijn kleine hersentjes niet voldoende op de juiste golflengte zijn afgestemd om dichterlijke zinnen om te zetten in betekenisgeving of gevoelens. Rilke is hiervan een prachtig voorbeeld: stilistisch kan ik zijn gedichten waarderen - het vakmanschap is overduidelijk aanwezig - maar inhoudelijk gaat meer dan de helft volledig langs me heen. Het is wellicht ook het soort neoromantiek - hetzelfde heb ik met de romans van Herman Hesse - waarin hij zijn gedichten dompelt die mij gewoonweg niet smaakt. Dan kan ik zijn 'Brieven aan een jonge dichter' beter waarderen, slechts omdat hierin zijn persoonlijke visie in een ander, mij beter smakend, genre naar voren komt.

Adiei vários anos a compra e leitura deste maravilhoso livro. Aconselho vivamente esta edição, com os poemas em francês na sua versão original (vale a pena lê-los e descortiná-los, a tradução pareceu-me excelente mas alguns têm uma beleza em francês que empalidece na passagem para o português); para mim os livros de poesia são livros de consulta, leio-os como um todo e depois revisito-os, continuamente, ao longo dos anos - sei desde já que revisitarei este livro mal cheguem os dias mais longos e mais quentes, pois contém todo o crepitar febril e salutar da Natureza a desabrochar na Primavera.

Deze sprak me niet zo aan. Het is mooi, maar er zat er geen een tussen die me bij is gebleven helaas.
