Synopsis "duino elegies"

Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angelicorders? and even if one of them pressed mesuddenly to his heart: I'd be consumedin that overwhelming existence. For beauty is nothingbut the beginning of terror, which we can just barely endure, and we stand in awe of it as it coolly disdainsto destroy us. Every angel is terrifying.-from The First Elegy Over the last fifteen years, in his two volumes of New Poems as well as in The Book of Images and Uncollected Poems, Edward Snow has emerged as one of Rainer Maria Rilke's most able English-language interpreters. In his translations, Snow adheres faithfully to the intent of Rilke's German while constructing nuanced, colloquial poems in English. Written in a period of spiritual crisis between 1912 and 1922, the poems that compose the Duino Elegies are the ones most frequently identified with the Rilkean sensibility. With their symbolic landscapes, prophetic proclamations, and unsettling intensity, these complex and haunting poems rank among the outstanding visionary works of the century.

View Author's Page
(Praga, 1875 - Valmont, 1926) Escritor checo en lengua alemana. Fue el poeta en lengua alemana más relevante e influyente de la primera mitad del siglo XX; amplió los límites de expresión de la lírica y extendió su influencia a toda la poesía europea.

Después de abandonar la Academia Militar de Mährisch-Weiskirchen, ingresó en la Escuela de Comercio de Linz y posteriormente estudió historia del arte e historia de la literatura en Praga. Residió en Munich, donde en 1897 conoció a Lou Andreas-Salomé, quince años mayor que él, y que tuvo una influencia decisiva en su pasaje a la madurez. Decidido a no ejercer ningún oficio y a dedicarse plenamente a la literatura, emprendió numerosos viajes. Visitó Italia y Rusia (en compañía de Lou Andreas-Salomé), conoció a León Tolstói y entró en contacto con la mística ortodoxa.
