Autumn 2025 poetry

 




R.M.Rilke (1875-1926) was a skilled Austrian poet and Novelist. The translations don't do him justice.

Xin Qiji was a military general and poet, who wrote his verses reflecting musical patterns. Chinese is not among the languages that I speak so I'm guessing that it has an even greater impact in the original.

      Codex: I have to be in a certain mindset to enjoy them. Wanted people to respond to them without much explanation.
