I Am Too Alone in This World- The Book of Hours
I am too alone in the world, and yet not alone enough
to make every hour holy.
I am too small in the world, and yet not tiny enough
just to stand before you like a thing,
dark and shrewd.
I want my will, and I want to be with my will
as it moves towards deed;
and in those quiet, somehow hesitating times,
when something is approaching,
I want to be with those who are wise
or else alone.
I want always to be a mirror that reflects your whole being,
and never to be too blind or too old
to hold your heavy, swaying image.
I want to unfold.
Nowhere do I want to remain folded,
because where I am bent and folded, there I am lie.
And I want my meaning
true for you. I want to describe myself
like a painting that I studied
closely for a long, long time,
like a word I finally understood,
like the pitcher of water I use every day ,
like the face of my mother,
like a ship
that carried me
through the deadliest storm of all.

The most important aspect when translating a Rilke poem is to capture the essence and emotional depth of the original text rather than focusing solely on a literal translation. It is crucial to maintain the poetic language and rhythm of Rilke's writing to convey the intended meaning and convey the beauty of the original work in the new language. Additionally, understanding the cultural and historical context in which Rilke wrote can aid in producing an accurate and nuanced translation.

In Rilke's poem "Archaic Torso of Apollo," the stone sculpture's gaze, which remains intense and undiminished despite its defaced features, can be seen as defaced because it challenges the viewer's preconceptions and demands a deeper, more contemplative engagement beyond physical appearance. This defacement lies in the stone's refusal to conform to conventional notions of beauty and the imperfections that disrupt expectations of perfection and wholeness.
