There are many, Ithink, who eat dry crusts and drink water, with a joy infinitely sharperthan anything within the experience of the "practical" epicure.'

Instead of thinking about such things, Kappus should simply ask himself if he needs to write. Nobody can tell him if his work is good-not even Rilke. On the whole, Rilke advises Kappus not to seek out approval from others. Two of them show promise, but they still feel generic. Nonetheless, Rilke can tell Kappus that his poems lack a unique style. People think most things in life can be described in words, but Rilke disagrees-so much of life is “inexpressible,” and analytical writing often fails to grasp the true nature of poetry. He did read them, but there’s not much to say, since literary criticism pales in comparison to poetry itself. In his first response, Rilke thanks the young poet for his letter but says he can’t provide much insight into Kappus’s poems. A long, in-depth correspondence ensued, and Letters to a Young Poet comprises ten of Rilke’s letters to the young man. As a 19-year-old student, Franz Xaver Kappus wrote to the poet Rainer Maria Rilke to ask for advice about his own poetry. Jock row book5/27/2023 “No one I managed to keep alive,” I joke. They appear black in this light full and arched expertly. It’s solid and secure and is going to get real uncomfortable real fucking fast if I have to stand here all night. I position my large body against the railing, giving it a gentle shake to make sure it’s sturdy before supporting all my weight on it. Her prim ponytail is jaunty, bobbing when she tilts her head to gaze over at me. “So.” She wraps her puffed sleeved arms around her knees, hugging them tight. Blows out a frustrated puff of air that translates into a billowing stream of steam. I cast my glance at her outfit, doing my best to analyze her under the dim lights she must have been sweaty inside the house I got a good look at her before convincing her to follow me, but still study her as if seeing her for the first time.īoth of her boots are tucked under her legs, and she sits, cross-legged on the ground. It makes the entire place look like a goddamn Halloween fun-house, casting a weird glow on the girl’s smooth, pale skin. The porch lights are busted and rusty, needing their bulbs changed, one flickering-the other just about to burn out. It’s obvious that she’s blushing by the way she ducks her head, glancing down at the floor, the soft glow from the two busted lamps illuminate the crown of her head. She shoots me a tentative smile, ass parked on the stoop, back propped against the wooden siding of the house. Jesus Christ, she has a dimple in her damn cheek.I’m a sucker for those. |
