“Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.”
Wow...Rilke. Don't see him mentioned much in blogs.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Rilke line:
Aus dunklem Wein und tausend Rosen rinnt die Stunde rauschend in den Traum der Nacht.
Out of dark wine and a thousand roses runs the hour rushing into the dream of night.
What an amazing line! Thank you for posting it, kkollwitz; it's always nice to see you here. May God bless you and your dear ones.
