	Rainer Maria Rilke
		Rainer Maria Rilke, Germany's greatest modern lyric poet, is known to English speakers through countless translations and studies.
		Restless and solitary, Rilke found refuge in 1912 at Schloss Duino on the Dalmatian coast, where a flood of inspiration began a style of poetry unknown in German before.
		Rilke made the passage from the exquisite musicality and introverted world-weariness of fin-de-siècle verse to a muscular clarity in New Poems and then opened up new realms of experience in the Duino Elegies.

	Rainer Maria Rilke : Poems and Biography
		Rainer Maria Rilke was born in Prague on December 4, 1875, the only child of an unhappy marriage.
		Rilke's childhood was also unhappy; his parents placed him in military school with the desire that he become an officer -- a position Rilke was not inclined to hold.
		Rilke would continue to travel throughout his lifetime; to Italy, Spain and Egypt among many other places, but Paris would serve as the geographic center of his life, where he first began to develop a new style of lyrical poetry, influenced by the visual arts.

	little blue light - Rainer Maria Rilke
		Known as the greatest German poet since Goethe, Rilke has been attributed with transforming the German language into a poetic language with his dense, lyrical style, and his startling images that portray the complexities of modern life and their effects on the sensitive human being.
		Shortly thereafter, Rilke moved into an artist's colony in Worpswede, where he met two important women, the first of whom would be his wife, the other of whom would be an abiding love of his in his own particular way, Clara Westhoff, and Paula Modershohn Becker, an noted artist in her own right.
		Rilke subsequently traveled frequently, to North Africa, Egypt, Spain, and stayed with many princesses and noblemen, who acted as his patrons and who gave him the means and the freedom to compose his poetry.

	washingtonpost.com: Devil or Angel
		Any fervent admirer of Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) -- regarded by many as the greatest European poet of the century -- would do well to avoid Ralph Freedman's enormously detailed and scrupulously researched biography: On page after page it portrays one of the most repugnant human beings in literary history.
		Perplexed by this strange yet powerfully seductive verse, many readers would welcome a reliable guide, one that would clarify Rilke's "passionate affirmations of life that must at once be denied." Freedman announces in his preface that he hopes to offer a critical biography that will interpret both the poems and their author.
		Rilke stands among the greatest of those poets who use art as a means of knowing themselves, and who demand of their readers a corresponding receptivity, a willingness to delve into the pure ether of being.

	WashingtonPost.com: Life of a Poet : Rainer Maria Rilke
		Rilke's failure to live up to his family's expectations as either a soldier or a jurist, fighting instead for the right to be a poet, became one of the great conflicts that shaped his career.
		Many of Rilke's stories and poems, early and late, are filled with both tender maidens and knights and soldiers, most notably his famous lyrical tale about a heroic death in combat after a night of tender love, his Lay of the Love and Death of Cornet Christoph Rilke.
		Rilke next went to an advanced military school in the Moravian town of Weisskirchen, where he was expected to spend the concluding years of his secondary education.

		When Rainer Maria Rilke arrived in Paris for the first time in September 1902, commissioned by a German publisher to write a monograph on Rodin, he was twenty-seven and already the author of nine books of poems.
		Rilke's interest in Rodin deepened and his enthusiasm for the sculptor's "art of living surfaces" set the course for his own pursuit of an objective ideal.
		What was "new" about Rilke's New Poems, published in two independent volumes in 1907 and 1908, is a compression of statement and a movement away from "expression" and toward "making realities." Poems such as "The Panther" and "Archaic Torso of Apollo" are among the most successful and famous results of Rilke's impulse.

		Leishman attempted to match Rilke's rhythm and rhyme scheme exactly, but this forced him to distort the meaning rather severely in places.
		Since Poulin's translations of Rilke's French poems are mostly prose, I wasn't expecting to find much power in his Orpheus.
