But if we nevertheless endure and take this love upon us as burden and apprenticeship, instead of losing ourselves in the whole easy and frivolous game behind which people have hidden from the most solemn solemnity of their being, then a small advance and a lightening will perhaps be perceptible to those who come long after us. That would be much.

I love the dark hours of my being in which my senses drop into the deep. I have found in them, as in old letters, my private life, that is already lived through, and become wide and powerful now, like legends. Then I know that there is room in me for a second huge and timeless life.

Rainer Maria Rilke, from A Book for the Hours in Prayer, trans. Robert Bly (via proustitute)

Seen by the angels, aren’t the crowns of trees perhaps the roots, drinking from the skies? The deep roots of the beeches—are not these the quietly waving tops in angel eyes?

Isn’t the earth, for them, diaphanous against a heaven that’s solid in its stead? This ardent earth, beside whose fountains voices are mourning the forgetting of the dead.

- Rainer Maria Rilke, Orchards (XXXVIII) translation by Peter Oram.
