Facsimile of 1943 Edition. Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898 and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart.

Those letters, ten in all, remain a fresh source of inspiration and insight to the poetic sensibility to this day.
