Be ahead of all parting, as though it already were behind you, like the winter that has just gone by. For among these winters there is one so endlessly winter that only by wintering through it will your heart survive.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Heart, Winter, Gone

Rainer Maria Rilke, “The Sonnets To Orpheus: Book 2: XIII”

We wasters of sorrows! How we stare away into sad endurance beyond them, trying to foresee their end! Whereas they are nothing else than our winter foliage, our sombre evergreen, one of the seasons of our interior year.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Winter, Years, Sorrow

Rainer Maria Rilke (1984). “Prose and poetry”, Burns & Oates
