I have often thought about you and imagined how quiet you must be in your solitary fort up among the empty mountains over which those great south winds rush, as if they wanted to devour them in mighty chunks.

The silence must be immense

To be able to receive such sounds and movements () joined by noise of the sea, present in the distance ()

Pre-historic harmony ()

Let this marvellous solitude work on you ()

A solitude which will never be deleted from your life.

In all that lies before you to experience and do,

It will continue as an anonymous influence ()

Perhaps like the way the blood of our ancestors moves unceasingly within us and mingles with our own

Letters to a Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 –1926)

Paris, on the second day of Christmas, 1908

I think of you often ()

Whether my letters can really be a help, well, I have my doubts.

Do not say: Yes, they are. Just let them sink in and without any particular sense of gratitude, and let’s wait and see what will come of it. ()

I think of you often ()

Whether my letters can really be a help, well, I have my doubts.

Do not say: Yes, they are. Just let them sink in and without any particular sense of gratitude, and let’s wait and see what will come of it. ()

Letters to a Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 –1926)

So,

Dear Mr. Kappus (the young poet, p01)

You shouldn’t be dismayed if a sadness rises up in front of you, greater than any you have seen before; or if a disquiet plays over your hands () like light and cloud-shadow. ()

Think that something is happening with you,

That life has not forgotten you,

That it holds you in its hand;

It will not let you fall.

Why should you want to exclude from your life all unsettling () when you don’t know what work it is these states are performing within you? Why do you want to persecute yourself with the question where it all comes from and where it is leading? You well know you are in a

Period of transition ()

If there is something ailing in the way you go about things, then remember that sickness is the means by whih an organism rids itself of something foreign to it. All one has to do is help it to be ill, to have its whole illness and let it break out, for that is how it mends itself. ()

There is so much () going on ()

You must be patient as an invalid and

Trusting as a convalescent,

For you are perhaps both.

And more than that:

You are also the doctor ()

But with all illnesses there are many days when the doctor can do nothing but wait,

Inasfar as you are your own doctor

This above all is

What you

Must

Do

Now.

The fear of the inexplicable

Has not just rendered the individual existence poorer;

Relations between people, too, have been

Restricted,

As it were lifted out of the

River-bed of of endless possibilities

And placed on a deserted bank where nothing happens. ()

It is not lethargy alone which cause human relationships to repeat themselves in the same old () monotony ()

It is the shying away from any kind of

New,

Unforeseeable

Experience,

Which we think we may not be equal to.

But only someone who is ready for anything nd rules nothing out, not even the most enigmatic things, will experience the relationship with another as a living thing and will him (her, p01) self llve his (her, p01) own existence to the full. ()

Imagining an individual’s existence as a larger or smaller room

Reveals to us that most people are only acquainted with one corner of their particular room,

A place by the window,

A little area

To pace

Up

And

Down.

That way they have a certain security.

And yet the perilous uncertainty that drives the prisoners in Poe’s tales out the outlines of their () dungeons ()

But we are not prisoners.

There are no traps or snares set up around us, and there is nothing that should frighten or torment us.

We are placed into life ()

We have no reason to be distrustful of our world, for it is not against us.

If it holds terrors, they are our terrors,

If it has abysses, these abysses belong to us ()

How can we forget those ancient myths found at the beginnings of all peoples?

The myths about the dragons who at the last moment turn princesses?

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses, only waiting for the day when they will see us handsome (beautiful, p01) and brave?

Perhaps everything terrifying is deep down a helpless thing that needs our help.

We

Have already had to adjust our theories of planetary motion,

And so, too, we shall gradually learn to recognize

That what we call fate originates in ourselves, in humankind, and does not work on us from the outside. ()

Many people () in panic () swore to never have found anything of the sort in themselves before. ()

Someone transported from his room, () without warning and interval, onto the top of a high mountain would feel () virtually destroyed by an unparalleled sense of insecurity, by an exposure to something nameless. He would think he was falling or believe himself to be hurtling out into space or shattered into a thousand pieces ()

For one who becomes solitary, many such changes suddenly take place at once and, as with the man on the mountaintop, unusual imaginings and curious sensations occur which seem to be take on dimensions greater than can be tolerated.

But it is necessary for us to experience this too.

We must accept our existence in as wide a sense as can be; everything, even the unheard of, must be possible within it.

That,

When you come down to it,

Is the only kind of courage that is demanded of us:

The courage of the oddest,

The most unexpected,

The most inexplicable

Things that we may encounter. ()

Human beings have been cowardly in this regard ()

The experiences we describe as ‘apparitions’, the entire so-called ‘spirit world’, death

All those things so closely akin to us

Have by our daily rejection of them been

Forced so far from our lives that

The senses with which we might apprehend them

Have atrophied. ()
