Although The Book of Hours is the work of Rilke's youth, it
contains the germ of his mature convictions. Written as
spontaneously received prayers, these poems celebrate a God who is
not the Creator of the Universe but rather humanityitself and,
above all, that most intensely conscious part of humanity, the
artist. Babette Deutsch's classic translations-born from "the pure
desire to sing what thepoet sang" (Ursula K. Le Guin)-capture the
rich harmony and suggestive imagery of the originals, transporting
the reader to new heights of inspiration and musicality.
