Rainer Maria Rilke (4 December, 187529 December, 1926) was a German language poet. His haunting images tended to focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety.

He wrote in both verse and a highly lyrical prose. His two most famous verse sequences are the Sonnets to Orpheus and the Duino Elegies; his two most famous prose works are the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. He also wrote more than 400 poems in French, dedicated to his homeland of choice, the canton of Valais in Switzerland.

Rodin

In the summer of 1902, Rilke left home and traveled to Paris to write a monograph on the sculptor Auguste Rodin
