@biancastone thanks for sharing. Currently also obsessed with stone poems! Louise Erdrich has some good stone material. Short story & poem. newyorker.com/magazine/2019/…

I knock at the stone’s front door.
“It’s only me, let me come in.
I’ve come out of pure curiosity.
Only life can quench it.
I mean to stroll through your palace,
then go calling on a leaf, a drop of water.
I don’t have much time.
My mortality should touch you.”
Szymborska

.... I have a specific love of poems with stones in them and this one is one of the very best, by the late great Charles Simic

@biancastone would love a discussion on Rodin's influence on Rilke, especially pertaining to the development of his perception

@biancastone sorry I just realised how unhelpful that is - I did the math and afternoon is good for EU!
