Happy are those who know:
Behind all words, the Unsayable stands;
And from that source alone, the Infinite
Crosses over to gladness, and us—
Built with the stone of distinctions;
So that always, within each delight,
We gaze at what is purely single and joined.
Free of our bridges,

~ Rainer Maria Rilke


written on the manuscripts of Duino Elegies
