Writing prompt #97: FREE RESPONSE

Hi Everyone,

Sometimes a striking line of poetry will set in motion all kinds of unexpected literary repercussions. The following is from “The First Elegy” of Rainer Maria Rilke’s Duino Elegies:

Please feel free to respond in any way that serves you and your work.

Abrazos,

Cristina

PS: Optional: I found another rendering of this online, with images from Wim Wenders film “Wings of Desire.”
