Rainer Maria Rilke

They all have tired mouths and bright seamless souls. And a longing (as for sin) sometimes haunts their dreams. They are almost all alike; in God's gardens they keep still, like many, many intervals in his might and melody.

Rainer Maria Rilke

And one of the things I find most moving is the way people with infirmities manage to embrace Life, and from the cool flowers by the wayside reach conclusions about the vast splendour of its great gardens.

And precisely where our deeds end, theirs begin to bear fruit.

Rainer Maria Rilke
