Rainer Maria Rilke in 1913

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) was a lyrical poet from Austria-Hungary, writing in German and French, and internationally famous for the Duino Elegies and The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge among other works. He wrote both verse and highly lyrical prose, and critics have several times described his work as "mystical".
