I'm Alone by Rainer Maria Rilke

🔰A little video filmed during the last days of 2020 and the first of 2021 on a Greek shore. The poem featured is "I Am Much Too Alone in This World, Yet Not Alone" by Rainer Maria Rilke. The voice belongs to Tyler, who did an amazing job capturing the poem's essence. Hope you like it

🔰"I Am Much Too Alone in This World, Yet Not Alone" by Rainer Maria Rilke
I am much too alone in this world
yet not alone enough to truly consecrate the hour.
I am much too small in this world
yet not small enough to be to you
just object and thing
dark and smart
I want my free will
and want it accompanying the path which leads to action;
I want during times that beg questions,
where something is up, to be among those in the know,
or else be alone.
I want to mirror your image to its fullest perfection,
never be blind or too old
to uphold your weighty wavering reflection.
I want to unfold.
Nowhere I wish to stay crooked, bent;
for there I would be dishonest, untrue.
I want my conscience to be true before you;
I want to describe myself like a picture I observed for a long time
one close up
like a new word I learned and embraced,
like the everyday jug
like my mother's face
like a ship that carried me along through the deadliest storm

It's an amazing form of art!

Someday, see mr. Christopher nolan's direction

[@dariaklimova4447]

nolan... I would say, see: tarkovsky, kubrick, wong kar wai, terrence malick, wes anderson, scorsese, paul thomas anderson, denis villeneuve, zhang yimou, david fincher, hitchcock, orson welles, tarantino, francis coppola, the coen brothers...

[@tutajola]

Wow. I said to myself...”man I feel lonely„..then this popped up in my recommended. I think the universe wanted to remind I’m not alone. :)

Hahaha nice coincidence

Dear a kid with a camera, Our perspectives of the world can differ so much from other people. We can be alone in a crowd of people or be fully surrounded by only a few. This is a beautiful poem. I always envy those who can write so fluid like. As always an amazing video. Keep creating, An internet friend

[@illneas]

Rilke was a truly unique writer

[@insomniacbabe712]

"I want my conscience to be true before you" in German "Ich will meinen Sinn wahr vor dir". I think it's beautiful. To be immaculate, truly yourself before the one you love. Rilke is a sublime soul. Read his letters...

[@SimranKaur-jh3mh]

I love the way Rilke talks about ("fertile") solitude and the essentiality of it for creativity, self-esteem, and relationships. "What would a solitude be that didn't have some greatness to it?" FML

[@vishwasjoshi9287]

What's FML?

[@joserobertomarcos8111]

I’ve been following your channel for a while and there’s no video where I’m not thrilled in a way. Bukowski are my favorites, but everyone else is fantastic too. Always continue to inspire us.

[@illneas]

I'm glad mate, thank you for giving a chance to other poets as well.

[@embracingchagall]

"I want to describe myself like a picture I observed for a long time....." What a wonderful image! Thank you...

[@marshalljbg1980]

Isn't it actually a feeling that unites us all, ironically? Feeling lonely isn't bad or good... It's kind of like death and life. For some reason, I'm proud of my loneliness, as if it was my most precious treasure.

[@sahilsk-hl1fe]

If self love and desires could be encompassed aesthetically, this would be it ;")❤️

[@illneas]

Rilke was a genius

[@v.i.p.matthew]

What a great poem!. So modern! as the poet Rainer Maria Rilke's period of life was 1875-1926!!. The narrator also did the best... and what a great (always) video!. Thank you!.

This is beautiful! The cinematography, the choice of music, narrator and especially the poem. Wow! Amazing

I thought back now to all the Bukowski and O'Bedlam you did, and how much I loved it. And how much I didn't want you to move away from it. But you had too, I knew that too. And now I love it even more, more layers, better cinematography, the detail that goes into the shots. Terrific. That is down to your skill and hard work in creating these. Another great video 🙏

Honestly reading comments from people that have followed after all this time is an undescribable experience. It was hard to move away from something that was the reason I started and I truly loved. Thank you for giving it a chance and for your kind words.

[@zft111]

This is one of my favourite poems. The cinematography and music choice is beautiful. The translation differs of course according to translators, but theres a line from this poem that wasnt in this translation, but I've always found it quite beautiful: "I wish to be with those who know secret things or else alone."

[@divalivingston1664]

I’m glad you included that beautiful line from the poem. I copied it to a list of quotes I keep to read occasionally. Here’s one line I like from The Book of Hours, a translation of Rilke’s works. It was one that spoke to me as I’m transfixed on either the past or future. “What’s past lies ahead, and the future is finished.” The shifting changes of life events are for us to learn from and are the means of opening us to our human experiences.

[@erikerik5706]

True loneliness is unbearable drama itself. And there is necessary drama, which is being avoided by isolation. So I don’t think that actually being alone is a good long term strategy.
