by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

À Mademoiselle X
Language: French (Français) 
À Mademoiselle X
 
Pauvre Madeleine. Que faut-il donc faire? Souffrir. Et cependant savoir, 
se rappeler souvent que cette souffrance est une souffrance bénie ; 
qu'elle nous précède au royaume de la félicité. Malgré tout. 
"Qui peut abolir le cri de notre joie?" ai-j'écrit dans un poème oublié. 
Au vrai: la jubilation passée ne peut être abolie...
