Technically great, occasionally beautiful and thought-provoking, often silly imagery and it can be a bit of a drag. I prefer other Rilke. Regarding this edition, it features a Dutch translation & the original German right next to each other so you can fall back without having to use grab a dictionary; good presentation. no reviews | add a review

There were flashes here which I truly admired but not others. My hazed judgement might conceal a concern or two -- perhaps it doesn't. This series didn't engender thought so I'm moving on. ( )
