The Poet's Guide to Life: The Wisdom of Rilke
Rilke here works for me as a sensitive cross between Wilde and Pessoa. I don't know what rating fits this one or if I should mark it as 'Read' - though I'll mark it that way because it seems to me pointless to tear through. More of a book to own, and to flip through through life, like much of what I've read from Rilke thus far. Some of the quotes brought back after many years the last words of Jake Barnes: 'Isn't it pretty to think so?' whereas other epigrams and pieces of prose nail home at once. I particularly like the bits on nature right now. Maybe in a couple of years I'll get way into another section - maybe tomorrow.
