Rainer Maria Rilke, 1875-….<\/p>\n

Have patience with everything that remain unsolved in your
\nheart. Try to love the questions themselves, like
\nlocked rooms and like books written in a foreign language.
\nDo not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given
\nto you because you could not live them. It is a question
\nof experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question.
\nPerhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it,
\nfind yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.<\/p>\n

++<\/p>\n

For one human being to love another: that is perhaps
\nthe most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the
\nlast test and proof, the work for which all other work
\nis but preparation.<\/p>\n

\nAh, poems amount to so little when you write them too early
\nin your life. You ought to wait and gather sense and
\nsweetness for a whole lifetime, and a long one if possible,
\nand then, at the very end, you might perhaps be able to
\nwrite ten good lines, For poems are not,as people think,
\nsimply emotions (one has emotions early enough)they are
\nexperiences. For the sake of a single poem, you must see
\nmany cities, many people and Things, you must understand
\nanimals, must feel how birds fly,and know the gesture which
\nsmall flowers make when they open in the morning.
\nYou must be able to think back to streets in unknown
\nneighborhoods, to unexpected encounters, and to partings
\nyou had long seen coming; to days of childhood whose
\nmystery is still unexplained, to parents whom you had to
\nhurt when they brought in a joy and you didn’t pick it up
\n(it was a joy meant for somebody else-);
\nto childhood illnesses that began so strangely with so many
\nprofound and difficult transformations, to days in quiet
\nrestrained rooms and to mornings by the sea, to the sea
\nitself, to seas, to nights of travel that rushedalong high
\noverhead and went flying with allthe stars,
\n– and it is still not enough to be able to think of all that.
\nYou must have memories of many nights of love, each one
\ndifferent from all the others, memories of women screaming
\nin labor, and of light, pale, sleeping girls who have just
\ngiven birth and are closing again. But you must also have
\nbeen beside the dying, must have sat beside the dead in the
\nroom with the open windows and the scattered noises.
\nAnd it is not yet enough to have memories. You must be able
\nto forget them when they are many, and you must have the
\nimmense patience to wait until they return. For the memories
\nthemselves are not important. Only when they have changed
\ninto our very blood, into glance and gesture, and are
\nnameless, no longer to be distinguished from ourselves-
\nonly then can it happen that in some very rare hour the
\nfirst word of a poem arises in their midst and goes forth
\nfrom them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
