Meryl Streep diz Rylke | You, darkness

You, darkness, that I come from
I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes a circle of light for everyone
and then no one outside learns of you.

But the darkness pulls in everything-
shapes and fires, animals and myself,
how easily it gathers them!
- powers and people-

and it is possible a great energy is moving near me.
I have faith in nights.

Rainer Maria Rilke
