Autopilot (2013)
“—Donald Prater, A Ringing Glass: the Life of Rainer Maria Rilke In 1912, Rilke was staying at an Italian castle called Duino, owned by a Czech princess. Before coming to Duino, Rilke had been struggling for quite some time. He was still trying to learn how to listen to his unconscious for what he called his life’s next “turn.”
Rilke spent hours every day at the castle walking near the two-hundred-foot cliffs which overlooked the rough sea. It had been several years since he had written any sign...ificant poems. One morning, he received an irritating and tedious business letter. Annoyed, he decided to take his walk on the path between two giant concrete battlements of the castle, near the sheer drop to the sea. A strong Adriatic wind was blowing, called a bora in Italian.
As Donald Prater describes, Rilke heard a voice call through the roar of the wind. What the voice said to him became one of the poet’s most famous lines: Wer, wenn ich schriee, hörte mich denn aus der Engel Ordnungen?MoreLess
