Condition: Gut. XIX; 105 S.; 21,5 cm; kart. Ein gutes Exemplar. - erste Seite mit Widmung und SIGNIERT von Patrick Bridgwater. - Englisch - deutsch. - Patrick Bridgwater was, until his recent early retirement, Professor of German at the University of Durham . He is the author of several articles on Rilke, whose Duino Elegies he taught throughout his career. . (S. 1) // DUINO ELEGIES. Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), along with Yeats, Mandelstam and Pessoa, is regarded by all as one of the great European poets of the century, and by many as the outstanding German poet between Holderlin and Celan. Duino Elegies is Rilke's masterpiece. This cycle of poems, 'language grasped in its speech-seed', was completed in a three-week blaze of creative energy in 1922, the annus mirabilis which saw the first publication of The Waste Land, Ulysses and Pound's early Cantos. Rilke, 'the Santa Claus of loneliness' (Auden's cheeky phrase), said that the Elegies were 'dictated' to him, 'entrusted' to him. Of all the English versions of Rilke's 'elegaic symphony', these by the German scholar and poet Patrick Bridgwater may well incarnate the deepest reconciliation of that necessarily warring menage a trois: beauty, truth and fidelity.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Text translation by David Oswald. Flat adhesive binding by Judith Ivry. "The vivid language of Rilke's Duino Elegies is uniquely revealed in the bold, elegant paintings of book artist Mindy Belloff. After reading the Elegies for many years, the artist meditated on one a month. Ten Reflections emerged from a visualization of the poet's words, which are interwoven throughout. Rilke's expressions of despair, love, fear, and solitude begins, "Who, if I cried out would hear me then." (from the artist). Tight, bright, and unmarred.

Handcrafted in New England. From the publisher: ".I have heard more people than I can recall describe their first experience of seeing a Josephine Sacabo image. They say things like "I loved it" or "I just had to have it." I remember my own experience on first seeing one of her works; it was like an electrical charge rising out of the image and directly striking me. I thought, "I want to be able to look at this image every day for the rest of my life." Our inarticulate attempts to describe the effect of her work is the result of having confronted Sacabo's duende, having been brought close to the precipice, and having felt, in the words of Spain's great poet Lorca, that "jet of blood worthy of her pain and her sincerity".that the duende inspired. -John Wood".
