from that incredible period when Rilke became a genius. Rilke's influence reminds me, w no basis of when TRP became one--and interiority became a constant theme.

[Jochen Stremmel]

John Ruskin (1856)

“The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to *see*
something and tell what it *saw* in a plain way. Hundreds of people can
talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To
see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.”
