“Things aren’t all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered…”
—Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet, Letter One
“for ultimately, and precisely in the deepest and most important matters, we are unspeakably alone”
—Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet, Letter Two
“Dissatisfied with everyone and dissatisfied with myself, I long to redeem myself and take pride in myself in the silence and solitude of the night.”
—Charles Baudelaire, “A Une Heure du Matin”
