This Rainer Maria Rilke quote print features the memorable German lines, “Lass dir Alles geschehn: Schönheit und Schrecken. Man muss nur gehn: Kein Gefühl ist das fernste.” The passage comes from Rilke’s Das Stundenbuch, specifically Das Buch vom mönchischen Leben, and carries the poet’s characteristic sense of courage, openness, and emotional depth.
These words invite us to experience life fully rather than turning away from what feels difficult or unfamiliar. Beauty and fear are placed side by side, suggesting that both belong to a life deeply felt. The soft blue botanical elements and restrained typography give this German literary wall art a calm, reflective mood that suits the quiet strength of Rilke’s words.
A meaningful gift for Rilke readers, German poetry lovers, students, writers, or anyone navigating change, uncertainty, or a new chapter, this print offers a thoughtful reminder to keep moving through every feeling life brings. It would work beautifully in a study, reading nook, bedroom, office, or contemplative space. A thoughtful choice for birthdays, graduation, encouragement, or literary gifts, it is available framed or unframed.
