Rilke and Rocket(s) & Blasphemy 2 of 20

[Otto Sell]

I could sign every sentence you wrote in No 1.
I was aware that my knowledge and understanding of Rilke was not enough to
fully justify the ubiquitious Rilke-pattern throughout the novel. Many
thanks for those links.

That's what Destiny means: being opposite,
And nothing else, and always opposite. (Heidegger, 69)

"There will be nothing outside . . .; for trees and mountains, clouds and
waves will be but symbols of the realities he will find within himself.
Everything has flowed together in him. . . . The very ground beneath his
feet is too much. He will roll it up like a prayer carpet. He will no longer
pray. He will just be. And when he makes a gesture, he will create and hurl
into infinity many millions of worlds. . . . How other, remote worlds will
ripen to gods I do not know. But for us art is the way."
(Rilke)

This is indeed a very sad story and I fully agree with you that we are the
dp's in this world (2 of 20).
Waiting for some 18 of these beautiful posts.
