An Die Musik- Uncollected Poems/ 147
---------
TO MUSIC
Music: breathing of statues. Perhaps:
silence of paintings. You language where all language
ends. You time
standing vertically on the motion of mortal hearts.
Feelings for whom? O you the transformation
of feelings into what?--: into audible landscape.
You stranger: music. You heart-space
grown out of us. The deepest space in us
which, rising above us, forces its way out,--
holy departure:
when the inner most point in us stands
outside, as the most practiced distance, as the other
side of air:
pure,
boundless,
no longer habitable.
----------
Rainer Maria Rilke
---------------
I think the sentiment of this one is quite clear. I had posted this once or twice on the bluelights past.
I love sharing thoughts and words on Rilke's works.
A peer of mine from my art classes introduced me to him more than a few years ago.
She was quite the artist herself. She and I were just so much on the same wavelength. Thanks Maria!
I do wonder how your work is coming along?
