Erinnerungen an Rilke

Drawing by Gotthard Montgelas, 2011

" Rilke liebte alte Häuser, Einrichtungen und Gärten.
Am Ende seines Lebens plante er einen Rosengarten in seinem kleinen Schlösschen in der Schweiz anzulegen.
 Die Zeichnung ist eine Erinnerung an die Welt, die er in seinen Gedichten und Werken geschaffen hat."*

*Translation: "Rilke loved old houses, interiors and gardens. Towards the end of his life he planned a rosegarden at his countryhouse in Switzerland. The drawing is a remembrance to the world he created in his work."
