This one has bee on my want to read list for years, will be good to hear what you think.

So far, it's been interesting following how this relationship began in the first place and evolved into this mentorship by correspondence. Rilke certainly has his way of doing things and justifies them through beautiful metaphorical images. One thing I am certain I agree with him on is that you need to be alone with your thoughts in order to develop them for the page; you need to sit with these emotions and experiences before you can write about them.
