Sorry, I meant "VV."  It's just my dislexia.  There are only three weeks 
between the present and the start of the VV, so it would actually call for 
hyper-speed, three-plus poems per week, not to mention The Sonnets to 
Orpheus.  Probably just as impossible as going "assbackwards" in time.

I'm not qualified (having barely read Rilke, let alone "studied" him, and I 
don't read German) to host this myself, but I really thought it would be a 
valuable asset to understanding GR.

The following site contains all the Duino Elegies, translated by Richard 
Harris:

And the "Ahead of All Parting : The Selected Poetry and Prose of Rainer 
Maria Rilke" by Stephen Mitchell that Terrance recommends is only $16 at:
