Rainer Maria Rilke: I Live My Life in Widening Circles


I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I've been circling for thousands of years
and I still don't know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?
— R.M. RILKE, BOOK OF HOURS - 1,2
