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.
