Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke

Many of Rilke's poems delve into existential questions and spirituality. I wonder how his life events shaped this introspective work.

The mood felt so pervasive, almost like Rilke was searching for something just out of reach. Did others experience that emotional undercurrent?

Given Rilke's extensive body of work, I'm curious about how these particular poems were chosen and what narrative or theme they aim to convey.
