The Lay of the Love and Death of Cornet Christopher Rilke by Rainer Maria Rilke
5.0
Besides this epic poem, I must admit that I have'n read much from Rilke, just a few poems. I must say, that The Lay of the Love and Death of Cornet Christopher Rilke is indeed an incredible piece of writing (it is really short).
When I read something I really like to get the whole picture in my head, so I really...REALLY... like descriptive literature, but the image I got from this poem is is that of a dream-like-action.
I honesty could not make the difference between what was real and what was the cornet's thought. The style is beautiful, hypnotizing, it makes you enter into a strange world and slowly you can literally see and feel through the eyes of the character.
