Written by Rainer Maria Rilke
Translated by Joanna Macy
I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I’ve been circling for thousands of years and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?
Rainer Maria Rilke was a Bohemian-Austrian poet and novelist.
