Whatever is heavy and difficult, as long as it is only borne properly, also marks the precise weight of life. It teaches us the measure by which we may know our strength and which we may then also apply when we feel blessed with happiness.

Marda, Rilke was always one of my favorite poets, I had a couple of his volumes and read them over and over, one of them made it into my backpack when we had to leave suddenly when the Russians were coming.
German is not the most poetic language, but he could make it sing! |
