Answer 2

The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke
From the Notesbooks of Malte Laurids Brigge
[Ibsen]
There I sat before your books, obstinate man, trying to understand them as the others do, who don’t leave you in one piece but chip off their little portion and go away satisfied. For I still didn’t understand fame, that public demolition of someone who is in the process of becoming, whose building-site the mob breaks into, knocking down his stones…
… And if those who think you are worthless contradict you, and if those who you call your friends abandon you, and if they want to destroy you because of your precious ideas: what is this obvious danger, which concentrates you inside yourself, compared with the cunning enmity of fame, later, which makes you innocuous by scattering you all around?…
…And when time passes and you notice that your name is circulating among men, don’t take this more seriously than anything else you might find in their mouths. Think rather that it has become cheapened, and throw it away…
…And they pull your words around with them in cages of their presumptions, and exhibit them in the streets, and tease them a little, from a safe distance. All your terrifying wild beasts. When I first read you, these words broke loose and fell upon me in my wilderness, in all their desperation…
…What did you care if a woman stayed or left, if this man was seized by vertigo and that one by madness, if the dead were alive and the living seemed dead: what did you care? It was all so natural for you; you passed through it the way someone might walk through a vestibule, and didn’t stop…
…For it is in such reactions that life existed, our life, which had slipped into us, had drawn back inside us so deeply that it was hardly possible even to make conjectures about it anymore…
…There was a rabbit there, an attic, a room where someone was pacing back and fourth; there was a clatter of glass in a nearby bedroom, a fire outside the windows; there was the sun…
…and the avalanches that bury landscapes spilled out onto a stage overwhelmed with what is tangible, for the sake of what cannot be grasped…
…You wanted to see the people passing by; for the thought had occurred to you that someday you might make something out of them, if you deiced to begin…
[The Prodigal Son]
…But what he wanted in those days was that profound indifference of heart which sometimes, early in the morning, in the fields, seized him with such purity that he had to start running, in order to have no time or breath to be more than a weightless moment in which the morning becomes conscious of itself…
…not until long afterward would he realize how thoroughly he had decided never to love, in order not to put anyone in the terrible position of being loved. He remembered this years later and, like other good intentions, it too had proved impossible…
…But a woman loved, who yields, is still far from being a woman who loves…
…Didn’t you walk around drained of all meaning, without the right to even the slightest danger? Didn’t you have to promise, a hundred times, not to die?
