Reviews

“. . . these are the most impressive and masterly renderings of Rilke’s Elegies into English: the ones, above all, which make it possible for the reader to understand the unique nature of the poetry – to enter and understand, at least in some degree, its peculiar inwardness. The Duino Elegies present the most formidable challenge possible to a translator, but John Waterfield has risen to it with astonishing success.” – John Bayley, Oxford
