  Adrienne Rich | "Paula Becker To Clara Westhoff" | poetry archive | plagiarist.com
We're not good, Clara, at learning to prevent these things, and once we have a child it is ours.
Clara, our strength still lies in the things we used to talk about: how life and death take one another's hands, the struggle for truth, our old pledge against guilt.
Clara, I feel so full of work, the life I see ahead, and love for you, who of all people however badly I say this will hear all I say and cannot say.

 The New York Review of Books: Big Three
They are themselves extraordinarily peaceful and concentrated, seeping with the sense and recognition of Cézanne's colors, in nature as on canvas, colors which seem a part of Rilke himself, of the words and paper (he often wrote his poems on blue paper), and of his wife Clara to whom the letters are addressed.
Reading between his lines must have been a sobering experience for Clara, his wife, for the letters are an oblique statement by Rilke of how he means to live, and must live, in the cell of his art.
And yet they are suffused with an affection and understanding that seem to be supplied as much by her as by him; they seem to belong to her in a very deep sense, as Rilke said (sometimes diplomatically, no doubt) that all his works belonged to the person who had inspired them.
