Widely loved for its depth of insight and timeless relevance, Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry is among the finest lyrical verse of the 20th century. His "Sonnets to Orpheus" and "Duino Elegies," most of which were written in February 1922, were mutually inspired and deserve to be read together.

I liked this translation so much I am going to buy the remaining copies at Barnes and Noble and offer to read at our next church book club monthly meeting in May. Rilke is especially optimistic about life and death and the insight he has on these subjects can help anyone struggling with life's problems.
