Liebe Forumsmitglieder,
ein amerikanischer Freund und Rilke-Fan hat mich nach der Originalversion des folgenden Rilke-Gedichtes gefragt. Kann mir jemand helfen? Vielen herzlichen Dank im Voraus,
Jancuxine
STILL THE GOD REMAINS
Still the god remains an ever-growing
Wholeness we have irritably burst.
We are sharp, for we insist on knowing,
He exists serenely and dispersed.
Even gifts of purest consecration
only find acceptance in so much
as he turns in moveless contemplation
to the end we do not touch.
Only those who dwell
out of sight can taste the spring we hear,
when the god has silently assented.
With its brawling we must be contented
And the lamb’s more silent instinct’s clear
when it begs us for its bell.
Rainer Maria Rilke
