Writer and poet, Rilke was considered one of the greatest lyric poets of modern Germany. He created the "object poem" as an attempt to describe with utmost clarity physical objects, the "silence of their concentrated reality." He became famous with such works as Duineser Elegien and Die Sonette an Orpheus . They both appeared in 1923. After these books, Rilke had published his major works, believing that he had done his best as a writer. 122 poems of Rainer Maria Rilke: www.poemhunter.com Рајнер Марија Рилке - Избор из поезије: ponude.biz Рајнер Марија Рилке - Девинске елегије: www.scribd.com

Rainer Maria Rilke's Poem by Dennis Hopper Рајнер Марија Рилке Rajner Marija Rilke

A beautiful poem by Rainer Maria Rilke- I found the following translation to keep the original character best: The Panther His gaze, from bars endlessly passing by, has grown so weary nothing more to hold, to him there seem to be a thousand bars so high and behind a thousand bars - no world. The supple gait pacing in crampéd round, the movement of his powerful soft strides, is like a dance of strength, and, centre bound, a great dazed will amidst stands paralyzed. Only at times, the pupils' blind would part, then, to an image give entrance silently: 't goes through the limbs' calm tenseness to the heart, and, in the heart - would cease to be.

The 1st Duino Elegy of Rainer Maria Rilke is an unsurpassed poem is about the difficulties of living in this world, striving for meaning - to be heard. It is about our desire for solitude and our desire to escape it, ie, the need and the utter impossibility of understanding and being understood in this life. Rilke had been visiting Duino castle in 1912 and had taken a stroll near the castle, atop the steep cliffs that dropped down to the Adriatic. He heard a voice calling to him as he walked near the cliffs, and he used its words as the opening of this - the first Elegy. Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels' hierarchies? and even if one of them pressed me suddenly against his heart: I would be consumed in that overwhelming existence. For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we are still just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying. And so I hold myself back and swallow the call-note of my dark sobbing. Ah, whom can we ever turn to in our need? Not angels, not humans, and already the knowing animals are aware that we are not really at home in our interpreted world. Perhaps there remains for us some tree on a hillside, which every day we can take into our vision; there remains for us yesterday's street and the loyalty of a habit so much at ease when it stayed with us that it moved in and never left. Oh and night: there is night, when a wind full of infinite space gnaws at our <b>...</b>

Rilke's poem with added special effects. Music: Adagio for Strings, by Samuel Barber

poet poetry Russ Perry

Heres a virtual movie of the celebrated Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926) reading his poem "Der Panther " (The panther). Rainer Maria Rilke (also Rainer Maria von Rilke) (4 December 1875 29 December 1926) is considered one of the German language's greatest 20th century poets. His haunting images focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety — themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets. In "the Panther", Rilke writes about a panther who is being kept in a cage, possibly in a zoo. The panther is described from the poem as growing old, being desensitized to the world around him from the lack of stimulation and from this he paces around inside of his confines all day long. The environment for the creature has grown stale and tasteless; he no longer is interested with anything that may be happening outside of the cage where he can see and especially nothing inside it either. He is basically board; but Rilke makes it more than that, it seems his soul is being starved. It seems that he has tried and tried to entertain himself, searching for anything new and useful outside but nothing sticks with him anymore and now given up hope of anything else, anything he may have once known. So he paces, "over and over," it seems to him hopeless and even futile, but that is all he can think to do there. It is all he knows how to do. All of his natural <b>...</b>

Rilke-Porträt Bernd Lehmann Original-Radierung Auf dem feingliedrigen, eher kleinen Körper wirkte der Kopf groß, fast schwer, und die Gesichtsbildung war äußerst auffallend durch die Trennung zwischen der oberen und der unteren Gesichtshälfte. Alle Geistigkeit schien in der prächtigen Wölbung der klaren Stirn und den groß blickenden malvenblauen Augen gesammelt, während seine Nase in breiten Nüstern endete und der Mund übermäßig groß war." (Jean Rodolphe von Salis über Rilke) www.bernd-lehmann.de Theartist Bernd Lehmann, born in 1950, is living in Germany in the countryside near Hamburg. He is a freelance artist since 17 years now. Before it he worked for several companies in Hamburg and its surroundings as lithographer. In a very sensitive and empathic way he brings out the deep characters of his illustrations. Their charisma may touch the contemplators soul. His style is a composition of realism and impressionism. The technique Lehmann sways the mature technology of etching. He cuts his mirrored pictures into a metalsurface to create a design in intaglio just like the old masters Rembrandt or Dürer did. He inks the metal plate with one color and puts it with a moistened sheet of paper in a high pressure printing press. The numbers of the crafted impressions are low to keep up the value.

This is my translation of the First of Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus, First Series. These are astonishing poems and really quite abstruse, but startling in their suggestions. It is pointless and superfluous to attempt to say what these poems mean. It's like asking what a piece of music means. Poems and music just ARE. We have to accept their being. Of course, people do and will ask for clarity of meaning. But some phenomena are just too big to be pared down to size. And yet - I do conceive what the poem means, although my interpretation must be seen as one among a possible multitude. Orpheus' song (he charmed the trees and brutes etc - ie. he made the unconscious conscious) is like a huge and growing tree. It fills the universe. Art is a way to experience the whole of things - art as revelation, as recreation. Thus we have the 'silent' part of nature to which art gives voices. This art, as the whole creation finds expression, turns the barren wastes of time and space into a gleaming white temple, a place where the sacred becomes matter and form. And this temple (in my translation anyway) is the foot of the great tree of art, its root. Art is of course primarily form. So we have the Great Progression from the unexpressed and the weight of the inexpressible into the purity of artistic form, of song, poetry, painting, sculpture, architecture etc. The music is Bach's Art of Fugue, the opening fugue played on the harpsichord by Sebastien Guillot in the marvellous performance <b>...</b>

Well known Rilke poem about fulfilling one's destiny: Rainer Maria Rilke "sometimes a man stands up during supper and walks outdoors, and keeps on walking, because of a church that stands somewhere in the East. And his children say blessings on him as if he were dead. And another man, who remains inside his own house, stays there, inside the dishes and in the glasses, so that his children have to go far out into the world toward that same church, which he forgot." ― Rainer Maria Rilke

This is a video I made for Sydney based artist Ken Unsworth to document the installations which were part of his exhibition "A Ringing Glass( Rilke)" on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour. The exhibition was to honour Ken's late wife Elisabeth. Ken and Elisabeth had been married for 53 years. This is only part of the exhibition which used the whole Turbine Hall on the Island. There was a large Ballroom, where 180 people danced, dined and were treated to wonderful musical and dance performances. Music was provided by the Sydney Lyric Orchestra conducted by Jonathan Cooper. Songs were beautifully performed by Natalie Gamsu. There was a posthumous performance by Elisabeth Unsworth on a Piano that dramatically came down through the ceiling and played itself to a recording Ken had made of Elisabeth Playing years ago. There were 2 dance performances by "Australian Dance Artists" Susan Barling, Anca Frankenhaeuser, Patrick Harding-Irmer, Ross Philip and Norman Hall. Ken has been nominated for the Sydney Music and Culture award for putting on this extraordinary event.

"Sketch," music composed by Cynthia Lee Wong, with "Autumn" by Rilke. The leaves are falling, falling as if from far up, as if orchards were dying high in space. Each leaf falls as if it were motioning "no." And tonight the heavy earth is falling away from all the other stars in the loneliness. We're all falling. This hand here is falling. And look at the other one. It's in them all. And yet there is Someone, whose hands infinitely calm, holding up all this falling. -- from World's Poetry Archive at PoemHunter.com Paintings: "The Starry Night" by Van Gogh "Death and Life" by Klimt "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Bosch "Guernica" by Picasso 'Bursting Sun" by Jaison Cianelli "Hands of the Apostle" by Albrecht Durer Performance details: Transit new music ensemble - Sara Budde (clarinet), Andie Springer (violin), Evelyn Farny (cello), Joe Bergen (percussion), and David Friend (piano) at Elebash Recital Hall, the Graduate Center, City University of New York, 2010.

LA PANTERA (Rainer Maria Rilke) en el Zoológico del Jardín des Plantes, Paris Su mirada se ha cansado tanto de observar el interminable desfile de barrotes ante sí, que ya mas nada puede retener. pues para Él, es como si mil barrotes hubieren y tras cada uno de esos mil barrotes, ningún mundo. El hábil y ligero andar de sus firmes pasos que en torno a pequeños círculos girando van/ son como una danza de fuerza alrededor de un centro/ en el que aun se yergue dormida una enorme voluntad./ Solamente a veces, silenciosamente desplaza los cortinajes que ocultan sus pupilas; cruzando hacia su interior una imagen, que a través de la tensa quietud de sus miembros se desliza,/ para caer en su corazón, desvanecerse y morir./ traducción: Esteban Lobos Dellepiane. Der Panther Im Jardin des Plantes, Paris Sein Blick ist vom Vorübergehn der Stäbe so müd geworden, dass er nichts mehr hält. Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe und hinter tausend Stäben keine Welt. Der weiche Gang geschmeidig starker Schritte, der sich im allerkleinsten Kreise dreht, ist wie ein Tanz von Kraft um eine Mitte, in der betäubt ein großer Wille steht. Nur manchmal schiebt der Vorhang der Pupille sich lautlos auf -. Dann geht ein Bild hinein, geht durch der Glieder angespannte Stille - und hört im Herzen auf zu sein. 6.11.1902, Paris --------------------- Esta traducción la hice puesto que de las otras que he encontrado hasta ahora, que realmente no han sido muchas, no se ajustan a lo que me gustaría leer en <b>...</b>

Rainer Maria Rilke Benschworld Gedicht

"Every angel is terrifying. And yet, alas, I invoke you, almost deadly birds of the soul, knowing about you...." So begins Reiner Maria Rilke's Second Duino Elegy. An evocation of our shrinking before the awful self-containment of the heaven-sent, and our yearning for our material substantiality. We are beings with our feet in the mud and our heads in the heavens, condensed stardust, yet orphans. It opens reminding us of the first elegy's insight that the perfection that the human heart conjures is terrifying, and that the easy relation of angelic orders and man as found in the story of Tobias is no more. we have grown past such easiness in the face of mystery, and must find our place between heaven and earth. This is a valuable call to both those who would deny their lived humanity to seek salvation by supernatural agents, and to those who would reduce every path to a passionless, cold materiality. In this way Rilke writing in the first decades of the 20th century foreshadows concerns almost a century in the future. Translated by Stephen Mitchell, Music - Lark Ascending Ralph Vaughan Williams
