Untitled [Do you still remember: falling stars] by Rainer Maria Rilke
Untitled [Do you still remember: falling stars] Do you still remember: falling stars,how they leapt slantwise through the skylike horses over suddenly held-out hurdlesof our wishes—did we have so many?—for stars, innumerable, leapt everywhere;almost every gaze upward becamewedded to the swift hazard of their play,and our heart felt like a single thingbeneath that vast disintegration of their brilliance—and was whole, as if it would survive them!
