A review by pinkpxls
The Essential Rilke by Galway Kinnell, Hannah Liebmann

4.0

"For beauty is nothing but the onset of terror we're still just able to bear, and we admire it so because it calmly disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrifying"

I absolutely adore Rilke. His prose is beautiful, it resonates with lyrical intensity. Smoothly elegant and unhurriedly paced.
