Solitude Is Like a Rain — Rainer Maria Rilke Quote Long Sleeve T-Shirt
You took the long way home, past the water. The light went, and you left the radio off.
“Solitude is like a rain
That from the sea at dusk begins to rise;”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
“Solitude,” The Book of Images, 1902. Translated by Jessie Lemont, 1918. We check every line against a primary source.
The poem follows it up and back down: “It floats remote across the far-off plain / Upward into its dwelling-place, the skies, / Then o’er the town it slowly sinks again.”
Pull it on when the evening turns cool and you’d rather keep your own company.
