The hero dominates the 6th elegy w his strange cosmic presence against the lovers; as a fig tree & its self-contained fruit/flower fuels Rilke’s sundry metaphor & crescendos into the Samson myth. Much is gleaned in the complex image of the fig tree & its strange fruit-flower-seed pod, that encompasses so much rich metaphor and images from Bianca Stone & Ben Pease to delve into. We read from the first, third and fifth elegy, as well as from the book of Judges.
We also read from Rilke’s Duino Elegies: An Interpretation Paperback – February 27, 2019 by Romano Guardini
