Du bist die Zukunft, großes Morgenrot, über den Ebenen der Ewigkeit. Du bist der Hahnschrei nach der Nacht der Zeit, der Tau, die Morgenmette und die Maid, der fremde Mann, die Mutter und der Tod. Du bist die sich verwandelnde Gestalt, Du bist der Dinge tiefer Inbegriff, Rainer Maria Rilke, From The Book of Pilgrimage (1901) |
You are the future, immense glow of morning over the plains of eternity. You are the cock-crow after the night of eons, dew, morning matins, a young girl, the other, the mother, and death itself. You are the ever-changing shape, You are the deepest essence of things, Trans. DET |
