SONNETS TO ORPHEUS: SECOND PART, 1, by RAINER MARIA RILKE Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Breathing: you invisible poem! Complete Last Line: Roundness, and leaf of my words Subject(s): Mythology - Classical; Orpheus | |||
Breathing: you invisible poem! Complete interchange of our own essence with world-space. You counterweight in which I rythmically happen. Single wave-motion whose gradual sea I am: you, most inclusive of all our possible seas- space has grown warm. How many regions in space have already been inside me. There are winds that seem like my wandering son. Do you recognize me, air, full of places I once absorbed? You who were the smooth bark, roundness, and leaf of my words. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNEXPECTED HOLIDAY by STEPHEN DOBYNS ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE by GEOFFREY HILL THE MARRIAGE (1) by TIMOTHY LIU BETRAYALS/HADES, EURYDICE, ORPHEUS by GREGORY ORR |
