An evocative reflection by Rainer Maria Rilke on human nature and art, between the bars of which the notes of a revealing melody appear.
Notes on the melody of things is the title of this work by Rainer Maria Rilke, a poet and playwright who pursues a kind of artistic revelation to the bottom of human nature. From the sacred scenes of Italian painters, he travels through wild landscapes where common yearnings rest, he reproduces the music that emanates from that shared everything in imagined settings and captures his cadence in barely spoken dialogues. Once warned of its existence, it only remains to listen to it and acknowledge its fullness in wise silence.
