Beauty abounds . Words of The Poet Rilke – from his Orpheus Sonnets , weave in and out of a bird-in-the-mouth figure . All around are trees , central to this set of poems . “ A tree ascended there . Oh pure transcendence ! Oh Orpheus sings ! Oh tall tree in the ear ! And all things hushed . Yet even in that silence a new beginning , beckoning , change appeared .”
Sorrow , joy , pain and love are part of our and nature ’ s nature . Can we hold two opposing emotions , are we strong enough to stand trembling between our failure and potential ?
