Again and Again

Again and again, however we know the landscape of love
and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names,
and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others
fall: again and again the two of us walk out together
under the ancient trees, lie down again and again
among the flowers, face to face with the sky. 


by R.M. Rilke

Quotes I Fancy 6

by Rainer Maria Rilke


For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. 


I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other. 


Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.


Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other. 


There are no classes in life for beginners; right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult. 


This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess. 

Quote of the Day

Doesn't have to be easy to be right.

Quote of the Day

Gifts...it is in the eye of the recipient that they find their seat, not in the hand of the giver.

Quotes I Fancy 5

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Quote of the Day

My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me
That I must love a loathèd enemy.

Romeo And Juliet Act 1, scene 5, 134–141
