Letters to a Young Poet

I didn't connect with this book. I don't know why it's so hyped, and why people enjoy it that much. Most of the letters felt so random to me. Maybe there is a time and space for a book like this, and I simply wasn't in the mood. Or maybe I am not grappling with any of the issues that Rilke addressed in his letters to Kappus.

Notes & Highlights:

To love is also good, for love is hard. Love between one person and another: that is perhaps the hardest thing it is laid on us to do, the utmost, the ultimate trial and test, the work for which all other work is just preparation.
