Rainer Maria Rilke
There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. From Book of Hours. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). His gaze, from bars endlessly passing by,. And behind a thousand bars - no world.

Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,. Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,. I heard a Negro play. Down on Lenox Avenue the other night. By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light. He did a lazy sway. He did a lazy sway. To the tune o’ those Weary Blues. With his ebony hands on each ivory key. I got the Weary Blues.

Bends low, comes up twenty years away. Stooping in rhythm through potato drills. Where he was digging. You ate that ...

Ideas for Writing
Write a stanza or two containing general images that resonate strongly with one another so that their overall effect creates a powerful atmosphere. Make a general statement and then follow it with a highly specific image that "shows" the meaning of the statement. Create an image, and then bend the image in stages so it becomes transformed into something else. In order to capture archetypal and instinctual levels of consciousness, write out an important experience in which you use elemental kinds of images.

With your bitter, twisted lies,. You may trod me in the very dirt. But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? Cause I walk like I've got oil wells. Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns,. With the certainty of tides,. Just like hopes springing high,.
