“I am too alone in the world, and yet not alone enough

to make every moment holy.

...

and in those quiet, sometimes hardly moving times,

when something is coming near,

I want to be with those who know secret things

or else alone.

...

I want to unfold.

I don’t want to stay folded anywhere,

because where I am folded, there I am a lie."

— Rilke
