REQUIEM



..................

Your letter came from the South,
warm still with the sun, but orphaned,--
at last you yourself followed after
your weary beseeching letters;
for you did not like being in the light,
every color lay on you like guilt,
and you lived in impatience,
for you know: This is a not the whole.
Living is only a part....what of?
Living is only a tone....what in?
Living has sense only joined with many
circles of far-increasing space,--
Living is thus but the dream of a dream,
but awakeness is elsewhere.
So you let it go.
Greatly you let it go.
.........

--Rainer Maria Rilke
