“I love my life's dark hours…”Rainer Maria Rilke · Quote Candle
It's late, and you're not tired. You don't want the day back. You want this part.
Rilke wrote the first book of these poems in under four weeks, in the autumn of 1899, as prayers in a monk's voice.
The open circle is an ensō. In a dim room it turns into a moon.
Soy wax blend, 9 oz, in an amber glass jar. White sage and lavender.
Light it after the last lamp goes off.
