"And these things that keep alive on departure……" — Rainer Maria Rilke

"And these things that keep alive on departure know that you praise them; transient, they look to us, the most transient, to be their rescue. They want us to change them completely, in our invisible hearts, into -- O endlessly -- us! Whoever, finally, we may be."

Rainer Maria Rilke
