“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves,
like locked rooms and like books that are now written
in a very foreign tongue.  Do not now seek the answers,
which cannot be given you because
you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then
gradually, without noticing it, live along some
distant day into the answer.”


 Rainer Marie Rilke, poet,

Today is the poet's birthday (b. 1875)!
