Capturing the essence of Rilke's mystical and existential vision, Snow's translations illuminate the Austrian poet's unparalleled ability to weave together the spiritual and the earthly. This bilingual edition offers a unique opportunity for readers to savor the original German verses alongside their English renderings, revealing the depth and nuance of Rilke's language.
