It was not in me It came and went I wanted to hold it It was held by wine (I no longer know what it was)
Rainer Maria RilkeEverything in the world of things and animals is still filled with happening, which you can take part in.
Rainer Maria RilkeSo this is where people come to live; I would have thought it is a city to die in.
Rainer Maria RilkePhysical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the bad thing is that most people misuse and squander this experience and apply it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their lives and as distraction instead of a rallying toward exalted moments.
