Rainer Maria Rilke - Portrait of my Father as a Young ManRainer Maria Rilke - Portrait of my Father as a Young Man
Work rating: Low


In the eyes: dream. The brow as if it could feel something far off. Around the lips, a great freshness—seductive, though there is no smile. Under the rows of ornamental braid on the slim Imperial officer`s uniform: the saber`s basket-hilt. Both hands stay folded upon it, going nowhere, calm and now almost invisible, as if they were the first to grasp the distance and dissolve. And all the rest so curtained within itself, so cloudy, that I cannot understand this figure as it fades into the background—. Oh quickly disappearing photograph in my more slowly disappearing hand.
