Duino Elegies–Ranier Maria Rilke

Not Enough Of A Poet

Not Enough Of A Poet

July 23, 2025 Jerry King Comments 0 Comment

If your everyday life seems poor,
don’t blame it;
blame yourself;
admit to yourself that you are not
enough of a poet
to call forth its riches;

Because for the creator
there is not poverty
and no poor, indifferent place.

-Ranier Maria Rilke
