Rainer Maria Rilke (18751926). (Selected Poems of Rainer Maria Rilke trans. By Robert Bly) Pieta Thus, Jesus, do I see your feet again?
http://www.poetrytodayonline.com/JULYcp.html
July 1998 Rainer Maria Rilke
The German author Rainer Maria Rilke is best known for his poetry, in which he attempted to come to terms with his fearful perceptions of life. His personal spiritual crisis was related to his view of a larger crisis of society, and both are reflected in the poetry he created.
Rilke was born in Prague, Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic), on Dec. 4, 1875. An unhappy childhood left him with many fears and a restlessness expressed in his extensive traveling throughout his life. His first major work, 'The Book of Hours', published in 1905, was written as a reaction to his first trips to Russia. After leaving Russia he stayed briefly in the artists' colony of Worpswede, Germany, and then moved to Paris, where he was commissioned to write a book on Auguste Rodin.
In Paris Rilke developed the Ding-Gedicht, or "object poem," in which he attempted to capture the essence of a physical object. This style was the basis for his 'New Poems' (1907-08). Other poems include 'Das Marienleben' (1913) and 'Sonnets to Orpheus' (1922). The culmination of Rilke's poetic development was 'Duino Elegies' (1922). In these poems the fears that had been a large part of his life were resolved in his personal aesthetics and statement of the justification of life.
Rilke continued to travel after the publication of these poems, mostly within Switzerland. He died of leukemia on Dec. 29, 1926, in Valmont, Switzerland.

Life
He was born as René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke in Prague on 4 December . His childhood and youth in Prague were not very happy. His father, Josef Rilke (1838-1906), became a railway official after an unsuccessful military career. His mother, Sophie ("Phia") Entz (1851-1931), came from a well-to-do Prague manufacturing family. The parents' marriage fell apart in 1884. The relationship between the mother and her only son was encumbered because the mother had not got over the early death of her elder daughter and forced René (French: "The Reborn"!) into her role and tied him to her out of emotional helplessness. The parents pressurised the poetically and artistically gifted youth into attending a military academy from 1886, but he left it due to illness in 1891. From 1892 to 1895 he had private lessons to prepare him for the university entry exam, which he passed in 1895. In 1895 and 1896 he studied literature, history of art and philosophy in

Rilke war ein ruheloser, übersensibler Mensch, der mit gro b en und oft unbestimmten Ängsten lebte (vgl. seinen Pariser Roman Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge , 1910). Er erfuhr sich als ein Mysterium, aus unbekannten Gründen in eine ebenso geheimnisvolle Wirklichkeit gestellt. Durch seine dichterische Einbildungskraft versuchte er bewusst umzugehen mit allem Geheimnisvollen und Unverständlichen, das er täglich in sich und seiner Umwelt antraf. Seine Dichtung ist eine autonome Suche nach einer geistigen Wirklichkeit. Zu seinen Werken gehören die zugänglichen, trostreichen Lyrikbände Das Stunden-Buch (1905) und Das Buch der Bilder (1906), die objektiveren

Rilke created the "object poem" as an attempt to describe with utmost clarity physical objects, the "silence of their concentrated reality." He became famous with such works as DUINESER ELEGIEN and DIE SONETTE AN ORPHEUS. They both appeared in 1923. After these books, Rilke had published his major works, believing that he had done his best as a writer. "Works of art are indeed always products of having been in danger, of having gone to the very end in an experience, to where man can go no further." (from Letters As a poet Rilke made his debut at the age of nineteen with LEBEN UND LIEDER (1894), written in the conventional style of Heinrich Heine. In Munich he met the Russian intellectual Lou Andreas-Salome, an older woman, who influenced him deeply. In Florence, where he spent some months in 1898, Rilke wrote: "... I felt at first so confused that I could scarcely separate my impressions, and thought I was drowning in the breaking waves of some foreign splendor." With Lou Andreas-Salome and her husband Rilke travelled in Russia in 1899, visiting among others
