Review
Poets in English continue to line up for the inevitable failure of translating Rilke's short lyrics. The best translations I have seen are from Babette Deutsch.--Clive James
Rilke made the sturdy sonnet, recast the sonorous song. He quickened the German language itself.--Rika Lesser
If Rilke cut himself shaving, he would bleed poetry.--Stephen Spender
From the Back Cover
The God they celebrate is not the Creator of the universe, but seems rather the creation of humanity: the artists. Rewarding alike for the richness of their harmonies and the suggestiveness of their imagery, these lyrics allow of interpretations acceptable both to the religious and to the philosophical mind.
