“I thank you, deep power
that works me ever more lightly
in ways I can’t make out.
The day’s labor grows simple now,
like a holy face
held in my dark hands.”

mystical and visceral - full of the complexity and the unknown that is the human/divine experience. I wish I had found this sooner and I want to come back to this

4 stars because the writing and prose is beautifulllll.
I dont really care too much of the content and religious aspects of the poetry but the writing is just too good so its deserving.

I do not connect with Rilke. Never have. Wanted to give him another try and the results are the same. I wish the copy I had would have been a bilingual edition. When I read translated poetry I find it helpful to see the original text, even if I can’t fully read it. Not sure that would have made a big difference here.
