She drinks quietly from her image. Self adulation and pride Fabulous poem. Loved it.

she drinks quietly from her image. She drinks what a lover would drink feeling dazed.../// superb and beautiful imaginative line, love it

she drinks quietly from her image. She drinks what a lover would drink feeling dazed, searching it, full of mistrust; and she only.... in love with one's own image. a great poem. tony

And she waits while the liquid rises from it; then she pours her hair into the mirror, and, lifting one wondrous shoulder from the evening gown, .....wondrous inscription. Well deserved as the modern poem of the poem of the day.

Simplicity and beauty enjoyed

One of my favorite poets. - - - - - - - - - -and, lifting one / wondrous shoulder from the evening gown, / she drinks quietly from her image. She drinks / what a lover would drink feeling dazed, - - - - - -pure artistry to write such lines and draw the reader into this scene

All time beauty from Rilke. Enjoyed the essence of a nice poem.

'As in sleeping-drink spices softly she loosens in the liquid-clear mirror her fatigued demeanor; and she puts her smile deep inside' - a fantastic introduction indeed!

The sadness of reality emerging from the mystery of reflection.

Fascinating stuff...a read that draws one on for more.
