All will come again into its strength:
the fields undivided, the waters undamned,
the trees towering, the walls built low.

The houses welcoming all who knock
No yearning for an afterlife,
but only longing for what belongs to us
& serving earth.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, 1875-1926

Someday, when I lose you,
will you be able to sleep without
my whispering myself away
like a linden's crown above you?

“Quando i miei pensieri sono ansiosi,inquieti e cattivi, vado in riva al mare,e il mare li annega e li manda via con i suoi grandi suoni larghi,li purifica con il suo rumore,e impone un ritmo su tutto ciò che in me è disorientato e confuso”

Bei dir ist es traut:
Zage Uhren schlagen
Wie aus weiten Tagen.
Komm mir ein Liebes sagen -
Aber nur nicht laut

Ein Thor geht irgendwo
Draussen im Blütentreiben.
Der Abend horcht an den Scheiben
Lass uns leise bleiben:
Keiner weiss uns so

R M Rilke, Oskar Kokoschka, Windsbraut

"Las cosas, escribió Rilke, se hacen verdaderamente reales cuando el hombre las incorpora a su interior, porque entonces quedan a salvo de la fugacidad y la caducidad. Y son las cosas mismas las que reclaman esa incorporación que las salva."
