"Sonnets to Orpheus, Part Two, XII" by Rainer Maria Rilke is a collection of deeply introspective and meditative sonnets that explore themes of life, death, and the power of art. In this contemplative piece, Rilke reflects, "And we, who have always thought of happiness / climbing would feel / the emotion that almost startles when happiness falls." Through his elegant verses, Rilke invites readers to embrace the beauty and transience of life while finding solace and inspiration in the creative process.
