'To Music', by Rainer Maria Rilke, tr. Stephen Mitchell

#Poetry #Music #Bookstodon
Music: breathing of statues. Peraps: silence of paintings. You language where all language ends. You time standing vertically on the motion of mortal hearts. Feelings for whom? O you the transformation of feelings into what? - -: into audible landscape. You stranger: music. You heart-space grown out of us. The deepest psace in us, which, rising above us, forces its way out, - - holy departure: when the innermost point in us stands outside, as the most practised distance, as the other side of the air: pure, boundless, no longer habitable.
