106 - Atom reads Rilke again, exactly five years on.
Five years ago, I moved into this building with aspirations of writing a book like this. Today, the book is finished.
// There is no measuring with time, not even a year matters, and ten years are nothing. To be an artist means: to neither reckon nor count; to ripen like the tree, which does not rush its sap, and stands firm in the storms of spring, without anxiety that summer may not come after. It does come. But it comes only to those who are patient, who are there, as if eternity lay before them, so carelessly silent and vast. I learn it daily, learn it with pain, am grateful for it: Patience is all! // - Rainer Maria Rilke
