The View to Infinity and Back
five new translations from the German | poster | pdf |
[ I live my life in growing rings ]
I live my life in growing rings
that move out over the things around me.
Perhaps I'll never complete the last,
but that's what I mean to try.
I'm circling around God, around the ancient tower,
and I've been circling for thousands of years;
and I still don't know: am I a falcon, a storm
or a great song.
Rainer Maria Rilke (tr. Clif Crego)
Seeing the World Firsthand
six new translations from the Dutch
Sounds of the City
Sounds of the city on a warm night
have, as in a painting, a background.
An airplane roars against a substratum of cars,
a motorbike shoots clamorously down to the left.
I like to hear it, it makes me think of
the 22nd of June 1964, which is this evening.
Judith Herzberg (tr. Clif Crego)

[You don't have to understand Life's nature... ]
You don't have to understand Life's nature,
then it becomes a grand affair.
Let every day just of itself occur
like a child walks away from every hurt
and happens upon the gift of many flowers. [...]
Rainer Maria Rilke (tr. Clif Crego)
