ESSAY ON: Rainer Maria Rilke and Poetry

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page essay that discusses the poetry of Rilke. There are certain questions that have haunted humanity from antiquity. Questions that ask what, precisely, is the soul? What is human? What constitutes the physical world and where does it begin to blend into the spiritual? Frequently, it has been the world's poets who have put these metaphysical concerns into words that express what has previously been unknowable. No poet has done this more profoundly than Rainer Maria Rilke. Examination of his writing and verse shows that Rilke fully realized the division between the physical world and our spiritual nature, but that he also realized that, in solitude, he could connect with this quality and then transform it back into the physical realm through his wonderful facility with language. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
