Rainer Maria Rilke Quotes:

Ocupation: Poet

Life: December 4, 1875 - December 29, 1926

Birthday: December 4

Death: December 29

O trees of life, O when are you wintering?We are not unified. We have no instinctslike those of migratory birds. Useless, and late,we force ourselves, suddenly, onto the wind,and fall down to an indifferent lake.We realise flowering and fading together.And somewhere lions still roam. Never knowing,as long as they have their splendour, of any weakness.

- Rainer Maria Rilke
