confess


Paul Cezanne, one of Rilke’s contemporaries and inspirations

“Dream of the Poet, or Kiss of the Muse”


"Confess to yourself in the deepest hour of the night whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spreads its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly, must I write?"
~Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke
