Synopsis
The verse in this collection ranges from the objective, naturalistic descriptions of Rilke's earliest work to the effusive outpourings of half-religious ecstasy and anguish that characterize his later poems and culminate in the personal vision of the "Duino Elegies" and "The Sonnets of Orpheus".
