About this title

Synopsis:

Rilke, Poems from the Book of Hours. Bilingual Edition.

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

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
