Wise words on marraige


I hold this to be the highest task for the bond between two people: That each protects the solitude of the other- Rainer Maria Rilke

  1. These words are anything but wise. Rilke was the only child of an unhappy marriage with a unhappy childhood. His mother called him Sophia and dressed him in girl's clothes till he was five. He was a great poet and writer, but totally messed up. His own marriage did not last but a year ..."togetherness between two people is an impossibility"..

  2. God I stand corrected. Rilke was a screwed up depressive.
