in Duino
no access for us
to rainer maria's view
across the sea
from the castello
a servant of
il principe
who owns the place
and whom we happen
not to know
bars our way
beyond the open gate
therefore:
no elegies
no access for us
to rainer maria's view
across the sea
from the castello
a servant of
il principe
who owns the place
and whom we happen
not to know
bars our way
beyond the open gate
therefore:
no elegies
Duino, Italy, is a lovely place on the shores of the northern Mediterranean, with a castle where the German Romantic poet R. M. Rilke wrote his famous "Duinese Elegies".
