From the Preface: “Rodin has pronounced Rilke's essay the supreme interpretation of his work. …. Rodin felt that Rilke approached his sculptures from the same imaginative sphere whence his own creative impulse sprang; he knew that in the pellucid and illuminating realm of the poetic his works found their spiritual home as their material manifestation partook of the atmosphere when placed under the open sky, given wholly to the sun and wind and rain.” From Wikipedia: “François Auguste René Rodin (12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917) was a French sculptor, generally considered the founder of modern sculpture .“ “Rainer Maria Rilke (Prague, December 4, 1875 – Montreux, December 29, 1926) was one of the most important lyric poets in the German language. He also wrote stories, a novel, essays on art, culture and he made translations.” Translated by Jessie Lemont and Hans Trausil. Pages in original color.
