Yes, Andrew! The Duino Elegies went through me like a bolt from the blue at a young age and has has never ceased reverberating. I was going to, next, put up the Sonnets To Orpheus...partly because I thought it might inspire me to go back and re-read it in its entirety again. But I actually know the Elegies better. The translation question is a thorny one: there have been so many of Rilke. I have always avoided the Snow one for some reason. Learning German (not in the cards this lifetime for me, alas) would have a another plus side, being able to read Hölderlin in his native tongue.
