~   Rilke, from “Rilke and Andreas-Salome: A Love Story in Letters”

You don’t know nights of love? No
petals of soft words float on your blood?
No secret places on your body
throb with memories, like eyes?

Rainer Maria Rilke
Paris, Summer 1909

Above: Sketch of Rainer Maria Rilke by Leonid Pasternak (Moscow c. 1900)
 
 
Again And Again, However We Know The Landscape Of Love      
Again and again, however we know the landscape of loveand the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names,and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the othersfall: again and again the two of us walk out togetherunder the ancient trees, lie down again and againamong the flowers, face to face with the sky. 
Rainer Maria Rilke
