For Stephen, awakening
Kerguelen Island, December 1811

They played, not beautifully but deep, ignoring their often discordant strings and striking right into the heart of the music they knew best, the true notes acting as their milestones.

--Desolation Island

-Happy sigh-

Rilke is my favourite poet, I haven't read that one before though

[ghazalah]

:-) It's from The Book of Images. I've got the fun edition with the German and English text on facing pages. I can't remember who the translator is, but I like him. :-o

oh cion i love your new icon. you took the screenshot at exactly the right moment. the pose is v. striking next to that quote and the poem.

[ghazalah]

Thanks! *prance* The screencap isn't mine, but I forget who did it. I love his gesture --it's almost balletic.

The wordses are from ashinae's vid, Over Seas of Silence, though ultimately they're from Sting.

*sigh* I love Rilke.

[ghazalah]

*sighs with you*

Yeah.
