Topic: Duino


  
  Duino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duino (Devin in Slovenian, Tybein in German) in the coastal part of the Municipality of Duino-Aurisina, lies in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in the province of Trieste, in north-east Italy.
It is noted as the place of death of the physicist Ludwig Boltzmann, and for the Duino Elegies of Rainer Maria Rilke.
The new castle of Duino is uncertainly dated about the year 1400, when the family Wallsee commanded the construction of a strong war building.

Duino is a small historic village in the north-east of Italy, inhabitated both by Italian and Slovene-speaking people, close to Trieste and Slovenia.
The choice of Duino as the home of the only College in Italy was not casual, any more than was the decision to avoid isolating the students in a separate campus.
The neighbourhood of Duino is a meeting point between three historically significant cultures in Europe: the Latin, the Slav and the Germanic.

 English Titles by Rainer-Maria Rilke
The Duino Elegies are one of the twentieth century’s great works of art.
In the space of ten elegies, presented here in a bilingual edition, an impassioned monologue struggles to find an individual answer to what it means to be human in a world torn by modern consciousness.
To be an ‘I’ means to be constantly caught between the polarities of the night and the day world, of animal and angel, of man and woman, of sexuality and spirituality, of hero and lover, of inner and outer world, of life and death, and never to be at one with any of it.

 Duino - Aurisina
Beginning high on the NW end of the bay, the poetic "sentiero Rilke" (Rilke path) running on the top of a perpendicular shoreless cliff on the sea and reaching the castle of Duino is a meaningful example of the Mediterranean smoothness changing into the odd, fascinating sharpness of the Carsic table-land.
The castles are nearly all you can see of Duino when driving on the coast road: solid and clearly visible the new one, spread and concealed the ruins the old one.
Of the latter, dating back to XI century, only a tower and an arch are easily identifiable, mute stony witnesses of countless bloody battles against the Venetian and the Turk.

 Review: Reading Rilke, Duino Elegies
For though Gass is filled with awe for the poems, he accepts that the poet himself was less palatable: "He’s a cold and calculating egoist, covering his selfishness with the royal robes of art.
And while they may be spiritual in the sense that all true poetry is, the Duino Elegies turn away from the spirit world, the unattainable world of Angels, and are grounded in the mortal life.
Both flawed and inspired by their own contradictions, the Duino Elegies are at once Rilke’s loudest cry out of his solitude and into it.

 Duino Elegies; by Rilke - Introduction
What I admire most in Rilke's poetry is that his carefully crafted language, particularly in his later works, manages to convey the movements of this otherwise "unsayable" realm and often addresses the issues of finding the proper relationship to it.
The Duino Elegies hold out the hopeful possibility that fate itself can be overcome through the development of symbolic consciousness, that through symbolic understanding it can be transformed into part of our inner landscape that we move through rather than remaining something that dominates us.
From the sense of the poems, the insight can only be Rilke's realization of how slender the fruitful range of humanness is. I maintain that the subsequent ten years were largely spent struggling with the work of inner transformation, trying to turn this insight into a lived reality.

From the piazza ask directions for the coastal road, where before Duino there's an entrance through the trees to the Sentiero Rilke, a path named after the early twentieth-century German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, who was the best-known walker of this cliff path.
The two great complementary poem cycles, Duino Elegies and Sonnets to Orpheus, are not only the result of an extraordinary kind of contact with the unseen world; they are an attempt to understand that world, and to understand it in its holistic relationship to the visible.

This article's point of departure is Rilke's specification that the angels of his Duino Elegies are not to be equated with Christian ones, being more comparable to Islamic angels.
Existing efforts to apply this notion to the Duino Elegies have focused on the phenomenological aspect of the elegiac angels, but this article argues that the rhetorical function of the angels within the cycle is key, and it demonstrates how Rilke's angels are rhetorically linked with the angels of Islam.
The critical connection between the Duino Elegies and the Qur'an is that the angels in both cases are finally subordinate to...

 Reading Rilke - William H. Gass
There is also much reflection on the the problems of translation, though Gass' focus is not solely on this (or rather his conception of what must be brought to a translation is so overarching that a great deal of material is brought in that most might not directly consider a "problem of translation").
Gass considers some fourteen versions of the Duino Elegies (and there are already more), and his comparative analysis of a few of the lines is most useful -- though his criticism can, occasionally, be harsh.
As a translation of the Duino Elegies it is a curiosity and, since the translation is presented as a summa of the text and its arguments, disappointing.

With all his contradictions, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is one of the fathers of modern literature and the Duino Elegies one of its great monuments.
Begun in 1912 but not completed until 1922, they are `modern' in almost every sense the word has acquired; yet Rilke was by temperament anti-moderhn, a snob and a romantic.
The Duino Elegies aroused real excitement among English readers when the now-dated Leishman/Spender versions first appeared in the 1930s.

Preoccupied, he walks along the precipitous edge of the Duino Castle cliffs, his head bent into a bright wind which buries his breath.
I recently received a letter from the MacArthur Foundation asking me to comment on the work of a "young" poet, whose nominator had enthused about his progress, declaring that said poet had already won a prize for one (quite slim) book and had another on the way.
Perhaps, then, the current Rilke cult has to do with our nostalgia for a time of poetic commitment–a time when the poet seemed to live for his or her poetry, when every line or syntactic unit was crafted with the ultimate care.
