by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Le sublime est un départ
Language: German (Deutsch)
Le sublime est un départ. Quelque chose de nous qui au lieu de nous suivre, prend son écart et s'habitue aux cieux. La rencontre extrême de l'art n'est-ce point l'adieu le plus doux? Et la musique: ce dernier regard que nous jetons nous-mêmes vers nous!
