I stopped reading Duineser Elegien - Elegies from the castle of Duino by Rainer Maria Rilke ; translated from the German by V. Sackville-West and Edward Sackville West. [ Paused at 31% ] 📚

Duineser Elegien - Elegies from the castle of Duino - Cover

Random serendipitous connection to two other books I was reading-

  1. I Love Information references these, which is why I looked them up.
  2. This apparent first translation of the elegies into English was made by V. Sackville-West, to whom Orlando is dedicated, and who appears as Orlando in some of the photographs in the book. (There’s a lot more to possibly say about her connection to Virginia Woolf and Orlando, but I’ll leave it at that.)
