That's always been one of my favorite Rilke poems, Susan.
Congratulations on the publication of your translation.

I don't know Rilke very well, so I have nothing useful to say in terms of the translation beyond that I enjoyed reading it very much - it's beautiful - and I'll return to it later because I want to spend time with the poem.

So, both 'Congratulations' and also thank you so much for posting and sharing this.

Hi Susan,

Yup. No nits where the German is concerned, and your English has music. Well done and congratulations.
