Maria Rainer Rilke

“Go into your self. Learn why that instructions you to definitely write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of heart; confess to yourself whether you'll need die if perhaps you were forbidden to publish.

This first and foremost: think about in most quiet time of your evening: should I write? Dig into yourself for a deep solution. Of course this solution rings call at assent, if you satisfy this solemn question with a powerful, simple “I must, ” then build your life in accordance with this necessity; all of your life, also into its humblest and most indifferent hour, must be a sign and experience for this impulse. Then come near Nature. Then, just as if no-one had ever tried before, you will need to state what you see and feel and love and lose...

...Describe your sorrows and desires, the ideas that pass through your thoughts along with your belief in some particular beauty - explain all these with heartfelt, quiet, simple sincerity and, when you express yourself, use the Things near you, the photos from your goals, and also the objects that you keep in mind. If the everyday life seems poor, don’t fault it; blame yourself; acknowledge to yourself that you are insufficient of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is not impoverishment with no poor, indifferent destination. And even if you discovered yourself in certain prison, whoever walls allow in not one of world’s noises – wouldn’t you've still got your youth, that jewel beyond all cost, that treasure-house of thoughts? Turn your attentions to it. Make an effort to raise within the sunken emotions with this enormous last; your personality will develop stronger, your solitude will increase and start to become somewhere where you can live in the twilight, where in actuality the sound of other people passes by, far in the length. - and in case from this turning-within, using this immersion in your own globe, poems come, you will not think of asking any person if they are good or not. Nor are you going to you will need to attract mags in these works: available will dsicover all of them as your dear natural ownership, a piece of your lifetime, a voice as a result. A-work of art is great if this has arisen regarding requisite. This Is The best way one can assess it.”
