Sonnets to Orpheus

by Rainer Maria Rilke, Edward Snow

This sequence of sonnets meditates on the flux of existence and the nature of death as a transformation. Drawing on the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, the poems explore the relationship between the physical world and a transcendent state of being.
