Rilke: The Seventh Elegy

 Rainer Maria Rilke  Dunio Elegies

The Seventh Elegy
The world is nowhere my love, if not within.
Our life passes in transformation.  The external world
is forever dwindling to nothing.  Where once
there stood a solid and lasting house,
now a dreamt-up construct straddles our path
and seems to belong entirely to the realm
of conception as if it still stood in the brain.
