Letters To A Young Poet #8 by Rilke read by A Poetry Channel

[@APoetryChannel]

The depth and breadth of his wisdom is truly astonishing... especially when considering he himself was still quite young... not yet 30. Then again, 30 year olds at the turn of the last century were far more mature than today's Peter Pans.

@Pele Gacinovic 50 years old? There are no 50 year olds anymore. Didn't you get the memo? No one grows older than 40 these days. It's the law.

@@APoetryChannelhello, adamantine aardvark, I'm so pleased to hear that. I'm 50. But you've just told me I'm 40. 40 forever. I'll settle for that. Happy days. "now I am alone, o, what a rogue and peasant slave am I" hamlet. I believe hamlet is without any doubt whatsoever the greatest play ever written. Although it is indebted to sophocles. Aeschylus 's orestia comes a close second. Noel x

I have given the reader recognition. I am the reader. I read everything on this channel. I also create all the films. I don’t feel a need to identify myself, but there are subscribers who know exactly who I am anyway. Thanks for asking.

True! How i wish I knew German and read his original works but even in translations he is beyond sublime. Thanks for sharing his poems here.
