Rainer Maria Rilke

[Ulrich Schmid]

The best book on Rilke and Russia is: K. Asadowski (ed.): Rilke und
Russland. Briefe, Erinnerungen, Gedichte. Frankfurt am Main: Insel 1986.
In particular, Rilke translated the "Song of Igor's Campaign",
Lermontov's "Vykhozhu odin ja na dorogu (Einsam tret ich auf den Weg)",
Tiutchev's "O, veshchaja dusha moja (Seherische Seele mein)", Spiridon
Droshshin's "Im Heimatdorf", "Die Kraft des Liedes", "Gebet", Zinaida
Hippius' "Liubov' odna (Liebe ist nur Eine)". Not all of Rilke's
translations are published (cf. Asadowski, p. 68).
The texts may be found in I.H. Solbrig, J.W. Storck (eds.): Rilke heute.
Beziehungen und Wirkungen. Frankfurt am Main: Suhrkamp 1975 ("The Song
of Igor's Campaign"), Sophie Brutzer: Rilkes russische Reisen.
Darmstadt: WBG 1969 and Efim Etkind (ed.): Russische Lyrik. München,
Zürich: Piper 1981.
Interesting are also Rilke's own poems which he wrote in Russian (cf.
Asadowski, p. 488-493).
