Bilingual, with an introduction by Robert Hass.The PantherFrom endless passing of the bars his gazehas wearied—there is no more it can hold.There seem to be a thousand bars always,and past those thousand bars there is no world.The soft pad of his brawny, rippling paceturns itself in a tightening circle till,like a mighty dance around a tiny space,it centers a numb but still enormous will.But at times the shades of his pupils rise,grasping an image he cannot resist;through his tense, unmoving limbs it flies,and within his heart it ceases to exist.Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926) is one of the world's most beloved poets.Joseph Cadora is a guitarist, writer, and translator. He lives in Berkeley, California.

Rilke’s Duino Elegies: An Interpretation is the product of Romano Guardini’s longstanding preoccupation with that passionate and enigmatic poem. The Duino Elegies express the fundamental perceptions and ideas of perhaps the most lyrical German poet of modern times. Indeed, Guardini deemed Rilke both an important voice in the evaluation of their own age and a prophet of the prospects and perils of the future. His Elegies figured prominently in that prophetic work, hence their interpretation is a heady task, but one to which Guardini is eminently equal. Poetry, according to Guardini, is always aimed toward clarifying the meaning of existence. Thus, “poetry is an affirmation, not simply of what the poet feels or thinks, but also of what is.” This affirmative action of poetry involves two steps: an assertion of reality and an expression of how one experiences that reality. Subtle in its reading and sensitive in its exposition of the subject matter, Guardini’s Interpretation is an unparalleled treatment of both Rilke the poet and Rilke the person.

Written in three weeks of creative inspiration, Rainer Maria Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus (1923) is well known for its enigmatic power and lyrical intensity. The essays in this volume forge a new path in illuminating the philosophical significance of this late masterpiece. Contributions illustrate the unique character and importance of the Sonnets, their philosophical import, as well as their significant connections to the Duino Elegies (completed in the same period). The volume features eight essays by philosophers, literary critics, and Rilke scholars, which approach a number of the central themes and motifs of the Sonnets as well as the significance of their formal and technical qualities. An introductory essay (co-authored by the editors) situates the book in the context of philosophical poetics, the reception of Rilke as a philosophical poet, and the place of the Sonnets in Rilke's oeuvre. Above all, this volume's premise is that an interdisciplinary approach to poetry and, more specifically, to Rilke's Sonnets, can facilitate crucial insights with the potential to expand the horizons of philosophy and criticism. Essays elucidate the relevance of the Sonnets to such wide-ranging topics as phenomenology and existentialism, hermeneutics and philosophy of language, philosophy of mythology, metaphysics, Modernist aesthetics, feminism, ecocriticism, animal ethics, and the philosophy of technology.

The enduring power of Rainer Maria Rilke’s poetry rests with his claim that all we need for a better life on earth is already given to us, in the here and now. In twenty-six engaging and accessible essays, Ulrich Baer’s The Rilke Alphabet examines this promise by one of the greatest poets in any tradition that even the smallestoverlooked word may unlock life’s mysteries to us.Fueled by an unebbing passion and indeed love for Rilke’s poetry, Baer examines twenty-six words that are not only unexpected but also problematic, controversial, and even scandalous in Rilke’s work. In twenty-six mesmerizing essays that eschew jargon and teutonic learnedness for the pleasures and risks of unflinchingly engaging with a great artist’s genius, Baer sheds new light on Rilke’s politics, his creative process, and his deepest and enduring thoughts about life, art, politics, sexuality, love, and death.The Rilke Alphabet shows how Rilke’s work provides an uncannily apt guide to life even in our vexingly postmodern condition. Whether it is a love letter to frogs, a problematic brief infatuation with Mussolini, a sustained reflection on the Buddha, the evasion of the influence of powerful precursors, or the unambiguous assertion that freedom must be lived in order to be known, Rilke’s writings pull us deeply into life.Baer’s decades-long engagement with Rilke as a scholar, translator, and editor of Rilke’s writings allows him to reveal unique aspects of Rilke’s work. The Rilke Alphabet will surprise and delight Rilke fans, intrigue newcomers to his work, and deepen every reader’s sense of the power of poetry to penetrate the mysteries and confusions of our world.

INthis volume you’ll find, form-faithfully translated, New Poems I and II (1907–1908), containing 179 works by lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926). An innovative feature is the pairing of each lyric with a “reply” poem by the translator, or translated by him from another poet writing on a related theme. The result is a richly diverse book-length dialogue or symposium, a pioneering colloquy on comparative literature. Rilke’s interests—in mythology, history, religion, travel—range widely, and the manifold dialogue extends them further. To a startling degree, every Rilke lyric is like “The Panther” or “Archaic Torso of Apollo,” the two exemplary poems treated in the “Introduction.” Each is a matter of being and becoming, dream and reality, space and time, life and death. Rilke is the foremost ontological poet. Because this dimension of his thought and feeling is at once so wide in implication and so intently focused on the concrete existence of a thing or creature as we watch it develop from within, he will often approach the limit of what can be sung in language. The means of expression he employs to do this are so intricate and subtle that we must empathetically follow the windings of his syntax as well as the rhythm and harmony of his words. Together they provide the means whereby music can aid speech in winging the distance from heart-thought to expression.

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) criss-crossed Europe; he visited Russia and sailed on the Nile. And over and over again, he went to Venice: St Mark's Square and the Lido, the Doge's Palace and the Grand Canal were his intimate friends. He visited the city ten times; the first was a weekend in March 1897, the last, 13 July 1920. Venise, as he called her amorously, enthralled and provoked him: 'For a long time I have been unable even to glance casually at a magazine or book without reading the word Venice; wherever I look, it appears before my eyes at the last moment.'
