Home » Quote » Rainer Maria Rilke » „First a childhood, limitless and withoutrenunciation or goals. O unselfconscious joy.Then suddenly terror, barriers, schools, drudgery,and collapse into temptation and loss.Defiance. The one bent becomes the bender,and thrusts upon others that which it suffered.Loved, feared, rescuer, fighter, winnerand conqueror, blow by blow.And then alone in cold, light, open space,yet still deep within the mature erected form,a gasping for the clear air of the first one, the old one…Then God leaps out from behind his hiding place.“
