Wozu Dichter?

Gravity
Center, how from all things
you gather yourself. Even from those that fly
you take yourself back, Center, strongest one.

Those who stand can feel how gravity
plunges through them, like a drink through thirst.

Yet from the sleeper,
gravity drifts like rain
from the unhurried clouds.
– Rilke, Uncollected Poems
