Quote from "For the sake of a single poem" by Rilke

Quote from The Notebooks of Malte Laurids, by Rainer Marie Rilke

"For the sake of a single poem"

And is not yet enough have memories. You must be able forget them when they are many, and you must have the immense patience wait until they return. For the memories themselves are not important. when they have changed into our very blood, into glance and gesture, and are nameless, no longer to be distinguished from ourselves— then can happen that in some very rare hour the first word of a poem arises in their midst and goes forth from them.

 Pluck those words from the ephemeral thing we call imagination and you may surprise yourself. Inspiration comes from anything and anyone we encounter. The only limits are the ones we impose upon ourselves.
