Rainer Maria Rilke; Letters To A Young Poet I: Paris, Febuary 17, 1903

'Go Into Yourself...' A reading of Rilke's first 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.

Beautiful! Thank you!

This needs to be listened to more than once. So many truths are embedded in the letter, so much call for inward reflection, not seeking praise from outside. Intriguing.
