    Pathways. Poem by Rainer Maria Rilke

    Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) was a Bohemian-Austrian poet widely recognized as one of German language's greatest 20th century poets. His writings include one novel, several collections of poetry and several volumes of correspondence and though he is most known for his contributions to German literature, over 400 of his poems, were originally written in French and dedicated to the canton of Valais in Switzerland.  Through his writings, he invokes images that focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude and anxiety. These themes position him as a transitional figure between traditional and modernist writers and makes his works much sought after in the current age of existential angst.
