    Rainer Maria Rilke
    “God speaks to each of us as he makes us,
    then walks with us silently out of the night.

    These are the words we dimly hear:

    You, sent out beyond your recall,
    go to the limits of your longing.
    Embody me.

    Flare up like a flame
    and make big shadows I can move in.

    Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
    Just keep going. No feeling is final.
    Don't let yourself lose me.

    Nearby is the country they call life.
    You will know it by its seriousness.

    Give me your hand.”
    Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

    Rainer Maria Rilke
    “You see, I want a lot.
    Perhaps I want everything
    the darkness that comes with every infinite fall
    and the shivering blaze of every step up.
    So many live on and want nothing
    And are raised to the rank of prince
    By the slippery ease of their light judgments
    But what you love to see are faces
    that do work and feel thirst.
    You love most of all those who need you
    as they need a crowbar or a hoe.
    You have not grown old, and it is not too late
    To dive into your increasing depths
    where life calmly gives out its own secret.”
    Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

    Rainer Maria Rilke
    “I love the dark hours of my being.
    My mind deepens into them.
    There I can find, as in old letters,
    the days of my life, already lived,
    and held like a legend, and understood.”
    Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

    Rainer Maria Rilke
    “I live my life in widening circle
    That reach out across the world.
    I may not ever complete the last one,
    But I give myself to it.

    I circle around God, that primordial tower.
    I have been circling for thousands of years,
    And I still don't know: am I a falcon,
    A storm, or a great song? [I, 2]”
    Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

    Rainer Maria Rilke
    “You, God, who live next door--

    If at times, through the long night, I trouble you
    with my urgent knocking--
    this is why: I hear you breathe so seldom.
    I know you're all alone in that room.
    If you should be thirsty, there's no one
    to get you a glass of water.
    I wait listening, always. Just give me a sign!
    I'm right here...

    Sen komşu tanrı,
    Uzun geceler bazen,
    Kapına vura vura uyandırıyorsam seni
    Solumanı seyrek duyduğumdandır...
    Bilirim, yalnızsın odanda.
    Sana birşey gerekse kimse yok,
    Bir yudum su versin aradığında.
    Hep dinlerim, yeter ki bir ses edin,
    Öyle yakınım sana...”
    Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God
