#RILKE
Whoever has no house by now will not build.
Whoever is alone now, will remain alone,
will wait up, read, write long letters,
and walk along sidewalks under large trees,
not going home, as the leaves fall and blow away.

Rainer Maria Rilke, Autumn Day (Herbsttag)
English: Robert Bly 1981

R. M. Rilke na Suíça, os sonetos e o fim das elegias, a vida numa torre no cantão francês. E K. Mansfield na Suíça, ao mesmo tempo, podendo se cruzar, trocarem olhares, saberem um do outro o que o anjo, ou a morte, lhes reserva como paga: uma rosa, uma pereira em flor, coisa assim que não ocorreram.

After Rilke’s sudden death at the end of 1926, Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva wrote two works addressed to Rilke that sit among the great European modernist poems. You can read my translations of them and a creative essay in Tsvetaeva ‘27 @pavilionpoetry.bsky.social

Who knows? perhaps the same
bird echoed through both of us
yesterday, separate, in the evening...

“But everything that we touch,
you and I, unites us,
like a stroke of the bow that draws a single voice from two strings.
On what instrument were we strung?
And what hand plucks us to create that sound?
Oh, sweet song!”

Rainer Maria Rilke

Rilke is zo mooi! Ook heel mooi, het gedicht in het Duits lezen en je daarna vergapen aan de Nederlandse vertaling. Peter Verstegen vertaalde de Neue Gedichte van Rilke op een briljante manier!

"Wer jetzt kein Haus hat, baut sich keines mehr.
Wer jetzt allein ist, wird es lange bleiben,
wird wachen, lesen, lange Briefe schreiben
und wird in den Alleen hin und her
unruhig wandern, wenn die Blätter treiben."

Lord: it is time. The summer was immense.
Let fall your shadows on the sundials,
upon the fields let loose your winds.
