In Praise of Rilke

From Rilke's Sonnet to Orpheus,
Part II, 1, line 1&2:

Breathing. You invisible poem!
Pure worldspace interchanged
Constantly for one's own Being.
Counterbalance, wherein
Rhythmically I happen to Be.
Solitary wave whose
Gradual sea is Me.

You sparsest of all
Possible seas, -
Enlarged in space.

(Translation by TynvdB)
