Selected Poems of Rilke
Ah, friends, this is not new
Ah, friends, this is not new,
Mechanically squeeze out our wrists.
Don't let too much confusion,
Those who praise the "new" are soon silent.
Because the whole universe is better than one cable,
A high-rise building is even more novel and infinite.
Behold, the stars are an old fire,
But the fire of renewal is fading.
Don't believe that the longest passing line
The wheel of the coming day has been turned.
For the Eternal Robber talks to the Eternal Robber.
More really happens than our experience.
In the future, the most distant things will be captured
Blend in with the seriousness of our hearts.
1922, translated by Miso Feng Zhi
Heavy moments
Who is crying somewhere in the world at this moment,
Crying in the world for no reason,
Cry me.
Who is laughing somewhere in the night at this moment,
Laughing in the night for no reason,
Laugh at me.
Who is walking somewhere in the world at this moment,
Walking in the world for no reason,
Come to me.
Who is dying somewhere in the world at this moment
Die in the world for no reason,
Look at me.
Translated by Feng Zhi
Songs of love
How could I stop my soul and let it
No contact to your soul? How could I let it
Crossing you towards something else?
Ah, how willing I would have placed it
In any place of oblivion in the shadows,
In a strange and silent place,
There are no more fluctuations, if your deep heart fluctuates.
But everything, whatever touches you and mine,
It's as if the bow of the piano pulls us together,
A "one" sound is emitted from two strings.
What kind of instruments are we pulling on?
What kind of player holds us in their hands?
Ah, sweet songs.
1907, translated by Kabli von Zhi
Rose Collection (Excerpt)
1.
As your openness sometimes surprises us so much,
Roses of Happiness,
That's because, petals against petals, you're resting
Within you.
All wake up, your petals, haunting
Sleep, countless, meet
Silent heart, gentleness
End on thirsty lips.
2.
I see you, rose, book,
Have so much
Happy page
We haven't read it. Book of Magic,
Open to the wind, in order to read,
Close your eyes...
Butterflies flutter out of it,
Confused by the same idea.
3.
Oh Rose, your perfection is unmatched,
Endless restraint
And profligate, oh, a body
The head, carrying too much wandering sweetness,
No one can compare to you, oh you last the time
The supreme essence
Your aroma wanders in
The space of love, we rarely enter.
4.
We certainly do
Water the calyxes for you.
Fascinated by this brilliant idea
Your abundance finds courage.
You are so rich, in a flower
Become a hundred times your own;
This is the way to love people,
You have no objections.
5.
Yield around yield
Gentle touch gentle...
Some people think that it is you inside
Keep caressing yourself.
Caress yourself, within you,
In the way it shines.
So you invent Naxos
Listen to the theme.
6.
One rose is a thousand roses
This one - irreplaceable,
The perfect rose – a gentle word
However, it is limited by the text.
Without her, how would we talk about it
We once hoped,
Speaking of frequent parting times
Gentle moment
7.
Bright and fresh
Rose, leaning on my closed eyes—
Some would say that there are countless blinds
Layers
Against my scalding hot one.
A thousand sleeps, gently pressing my disguised eyes
I wandered underneath
In a lush labyrinth
8.
Your dreams are too fulfilling,
The flowers have so many linings,
Wet, someone crying,
Then you lean toward the dawn.
Your sweet drive, sleep in peace
In the restless longing,
Open these gentle forms
Between the cheeks and breasts.
9.
Roses, so passionate, and so bright
Some people will say that you are
The remains of the Virgin Rose... Roses are emitted
The restless aroma of the naked saint.
Roses will no longer be tempted, you are inside
Peace makes people uneasy, eternal lovers,
Far from Eve, away from her original advice,
Rose has since mastered the infinite fall.
10.
Friends of time, never stay,
but reject a miserable heart,
Comforter, your face unfolds
Caressed, drifting in the air.
If we give up our lives, if we do perjury
For this or for that,
We don't think of that urgent friend
It's her, showing charm around us.
Muzo October 27, 1925 translated by Zheng Yahong
