What a lucky young poet

Dear Mr. Kappus,

It is with great envy that I read these letters. I wish I had the correspondence of such a wise and creative poet to guide my endeavors.

And yet, thank you for being brave enough to ask Rilke for help, that the rest of us can have this gift to read and find inspiration and hope in different worlds and cultures, which no matter how different or developed, will always attempt to starve and dismiss poets and their art.

Review of 'Briefe an einen jungen Dichter' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

Ich glaube, dass diese Briefe vor allem diejenigen berühren, die sich gerade in einer Krise befinden und/oder traurig sind. Oder man ist gerade in dieser semi-melancholischen Stimmung zwischen den Jahren.

Wenn man aber - so wie ich gerade - eher glücklich und zufrieden ist, dann werden Rilkes Gedanken zur Einsamkeit und zur Kunst immer noch schön sein, aber einen bleibenden Eindruck auf der Seele hinterlassen sie dann wahrscheinlich eher nicht.

Kurzum, ich werde dieses Buch noch einmal lesen (müssen), wenn ich traurig bin.

Letters to a Young Poet

Books, novels, essays, poems of writers are great and all. But reading letters they wrote for friends and family give a deeper glimpse in to their minds and their hearts. This book made me feel like I have Rilke as my own mentor. It contains probably some of the most well-written lessons about art and life.

Nota ao próprio:
Diria que: (1) Compra a versão física do livro, pois seria interessante conhecer outra tradução que não a de Stephen Mitchell e em Português; (2) Lê-o como um marco na tua vida que, quando te sentes perdido e disjungido do mundo, as suas palavras te relembrem a beleza que a vida pode ter - e ser. Ouve a Natureza e compreende a sua pureza, percebe que a arte é uma experiência maior do que qualquer crítica pode conceber, ...

Ainda não terminei o livro, pelo que termino por aqui. Mas os sentimentos que me permitiu reviver... não tenho palavras para isso.

[20 de Agosto de 2019]
É belo o modo como Rilke escreve cada palavra com uma atenção, amizade, ternura, que também nos fazem chorar pela seu cuidado e por nos fazer perceber que apenas nos resta a sua arte. Que ela continue a ser bem apreciada …

Review of 'Letters to a young poet' on 'Goodreads'

I really, really enjoyed this group of letters and would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about writing. Rilke's letters to a young man who is torn between a military career and pursuing poetry professionally are heartfelt and philosophical at the same time. Rilke also shares his ideas about genuine love, gender equality, faith, and literary criticism (which he feels pretty strongly about!). As I said, highly recommended.

To read a more detailed review with excerpts from the letters, go to my blog post: outsideofacat.wordpress.com/2013/01/14/letters-to-a-young-poet-rilke/ -- it seems like a waste of space to post the same review twice. :)
