> What is bliss?


Grace.


To discover the unity of dread and bliss, these two faces of the same
divinity (indeed, they reveal themselves as a single face that
presents itself differently according to the way in which we see it):
that is the essential meaning and theme of both my books (The Sonnets
to Orpheus and The Duino Elegies).
