just finished the letters. loved the whole iconoclastic shtick at the end about missing God above for the cross pointing to Him
shit, garbage, should never have been born
his verse is stiff
his ideas unoriginal
his personality abhorrent
he was cute in 1900 but ugly as sin thereafter
and I completely resonate with him
>>9047889
I love him
He's great.

Everything about him is white: Like if someone reads him you can be pretty much 99% sure they're a white 16-30 year old male.

he's fucking amazing. beautiful work. the duino elegies are among the best works of literature and of art from the 20th century. The Duino Elegies are really unsurpassed, as far as lyric poetry goes.
He has a lot of other great poems as well. He stayed close to his art his whole life, never compromised on his mission as poet, or what he saw as his mission. He was hugely influential for me.
favorite lines from opening of first elegy:
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which we can just barely endure, and we stand in awe of it
as it coolly disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrifying.
