Octavo; hardcover, with gilt spine-titling; 155pp. Mild wear. Dustwrapper mildly rubbed and sunned along the spine panel. Very good to near fine. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. How uniform in character is the vast mass of Rilke's correspondence! The translator, in an introduction to the Letters to Merline which, in spite of occasional extravagances, is of great help in giving the reader his bearings, offers a pithy variant of the general verdict in describing the immense outpouring as a whole as the waste-paper basket of Rilke's emotions. Never was a poet more worshipful of his poet's vocation or more deliberate as a letter-writer in stoking the fires of his poetry. The mood and the sentiment of Rilke's correspondence, above all the correspondence with the women of his amours or amorous inclinations, bear all the marks of inward cultivation, of rapt pursuit of his "obligation" to art. It is not so much that the temper of his letters is unvaryingly poetical, though often in a cloudy and high-flown way, as that they so plainly serve his self-dedication to poetry.

They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book may reduce your overall postage costs.
