Brenda Benson Letters to a Young poet by Rainer Maria Rilke Letters 1-5 Letters to a Young Poet‚ letter 1: “No one can advise or help you- no one. There is only one thing you should do.

In “Letter one” from Letters to a young poet‚ Rainer Maria Rilke uses specific words and sentences to develop his tone. Rilke has a tone that implies that he is an experienced poet yet he has respect for the young poet. Although he is a much more experienced poet he isn’t arrogant.

“Life is a roller-coaster;” as they say but the part they don’t tell you about is how difficult it is to live life. In the “Swan” by Rilke‚ he describes life as a slow awkward journey‚ but not only that‚ he describes how humans yearn for life as much as death. It’s a “tug of war” between Life and Death; “And to die‚ which is the letting go‚” as stated in his poem‚ letting go of that want to live is the same as giving up. On the other hand‚ “Birthplace” by Saffazadech is how it is difficult to living

take for granted. People today don’t seem to put as much thought into saying “I love you” to someone as they should and don’t really have to same definition of love as some of these poets do. The poet that best represents my definition of love is Rainer Maria Rilke. Her poem simply says this “For one human being to love another is perhaps the most difficult task of all‚ the epitome‚ the ultimate test. It is striving for which all other strivings is mere preparation.” This poem represents my definition

poisons the foxes and leaves them to suffer and eventually die. When individuals glance at an animal they judge them as aggressive creatures. The visual poster portrays how animals are innocent and vulnerable creatures to society. ‘The Panther’ by Rainer Maria Rilke displays how animals should not be locked up in cages.
