1 | Poems | Rainer Maria Rilke |
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is the finest Austrian poet of this century and one of the greatest lyrical writers in the history of Western literature. A major figure in the modernist movement, with some affinities to Yeats, Rilke had a profound influence on other 20th century poets such as Pasternak and Akhmatova. He is a master of vivid and breathtakingly original imagery in which difficult ideas are made directly apprehensible to the reader and new worlds of experience are opened up. This selection includes poems: Evening Mary Virgin Presaging Autumn Silent Hour The Angels and many others |
