Rainer Maria Rilke słynne cytaty

„Wszystkie istnienia jedną przeniknięte przestrzenią:
świata wewnętrzną przestrzenią. Ptaków cichy sznur,
przelatuje na wskroś. A ja, który pragnę róść,
spoglądam na świat, i we mnie rośnie drzewo.

Troszczę się, a we mnie trwa dom i byt.”

Rainer Maria Rilke Cytaty o ludziach

„Poezje nie są bowiem, jak ludzie sądzą, uczuciami (uczucia miewa się dość wcześnie) – są doświadczeniami.”

Denn Verse sind nicht, wie die Leute meinen, Gefühle (die hat man früh genug), – es sind Erfahrungen. (niem.)
Źródło: Zapiski Maltego Lauridsa Brigge

Rainer Maria Rilke Cytaty o miłości

„O Panie, własną śmierć każdemu daj,
daj umieranie, które z życia płynie,
gdzie miał swą miłość, swój ból i swój raj.

Bo my jesteśmy tylko liść, łupina.
A wielka Śmierć, co w każdym tkwi w głębinie,
oto jest owoc, cel i praprzyczyna.”

O Herr, gib jedem seinen eignen Tod,
das Sterben, das aus jenem Leben geht,
darin er Liebe hatte, Sinn und Not.

Denn wir sind nur die Schale und das Blatt.
Der große Tod, den jeder in sich hat,
das ist die Frucht, um die sich alles dreht. (niem.)

Rainer Maria Rilke cytaty

„Zgaś moje oczy: ja Cię widzieć mogę,

Lösch mir die Augen aus: ich kann dich sehn,
wirf mir die Ohren zu: ich kann dich hören… (niem.)

bez powodu płacze na świecie,
płacze nade mną.”

Rainer Maria Rilke książka Letters to a Young Poet

Źródło: Letters to a Young Poet

“Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.”

Rainer Maria Rilke książka Letters to a Young Poet

Letter One (17 February 1903)
Letters to a Young Poet (1934)
Kontekst: No one can advise or help you — no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.

“For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so,
because it serenely disdains to destroy us.
Every angel is terrible.”

Rainer Maria Rilke książka Duino Elegies

First Elegy (as translated by Stephen Mitchell)
Źródło: Duino Elegies (1922)
Kontekst: Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels'
hierarchies? and even if one of them
pressed me against his heart: I would be consumed
in that overwhelming existence. For beauty is nothing
but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure,
and we are so awed because it serenely disdains
to annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying.

“You, Beloved, who are all
the gardens I have ever gazed at,
longing.”

You Who Never Arrived, as translated by Stephen Mitchell
Kontekst: You, Beloved, who are all
the gardens I have ever gazed at,
longing. An open window
in a country house —, and you almost
stepped out, pensive, to meet me.
Streets that I chanced upon,—
you had just walked down them and vanished.
And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors
were still dizzy with your presence and, startled,
gave back my too-sudden image. Who knows?
perhaps the same bird echoed through both of us
yesterday, separate, in the evening...

“People have (with the help of conventions) oriented all their solutions toward the easy and toward the easiest side of the easy; but it is clear that we must hold to what is difficult; everything alive holds to it, everything in Nature grows and defends itself in its own way and is characteristically and spontaneously itself, seeks at all costs to be so and against all opposition.”

Rainer Maria Rilke książka Letters to a Young Poet

Letter Seven (14 May 1904)
Letters to a Young Poet (1934)
Kontekst: People have (with the help of conventions) oriented all their solutions toward the easy and toward the easiest side of the easy; but it is clear that we must hold to what is difficult; everything alive holds to it, everything in Nature grows and defends itself in its own way and is characteristically and spontaneously itself, seeks at all costs to be so and against all opposition. We know little, but that we must hold to what is difficult is a certainty that will not forsake us; it is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.
To love is good, too: love being difficult. For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.

“When you go to bed, don't leave bread or milk
on the table: it attracts the dead.”

Rainer Maria Rilke książka Sonnets to Orpheus

Sonnet 6 (as translated by Edward Snow)
Sonnets to Orpheus (1922)

“For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.”

Letter Seven (14 May 1904)
Letters to a Young Poet (1934)
Wariant: For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been given to us, the ultimate, the final problem and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation.
