Rainer Maria Rilke; Letters To A Young Poet II: Via Reggio, Near Pisa, April 5, 1903

A reading of Rilke's second letter to a young poet, a translation of my own based on the Stephen Mitchell and Herter Norton versions. I've long returned to these words and continue to find inspiration here. May the same be true for you. Thank you for listening.

Thank you, it is lovely to discover this classic (it was about time, for me...) with your good voice. Could you please help me and write here the name of the Danish writer that Rilke is recommending here?

Thank you for another thoughtful post. Was drawn to the part about other artists influencing us can relate to that and books that are indispensable to us. These are things that shape us

To have a command of pen that great...thank you for reading and sharing ( and apparently translating as well?!)🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

LOVELY and Interesting❣️🙏🏻
