Rainer Maria Rilke - What SurvivesRainer Maria Rilke - What Survives
Work rating: Medium


Who says that all must vanish? Who knows, perhaps the flight of the bird you wound remains, and perhaps flowers survive caresses in us, in their ground. It isn`t the gesture that lasts, but it dresses you again in gold armor —from breast to knees— and the battle was so pure an Angel wears it after you. Translated by A. Poulin
