Rodin sent him to the zoo to watch the animals. And wasn't Rodin rather rude to the woman (a female artist) he was living with? Or was it Rilke? Oh, I have to find this book.

It's a lovely way to look at them. I read Rilke often from my "year's poems", but it is nice to imagine those two creative souls connecting. I have The Swallow Man, still haven't read it, hopefully soon! Thanks for all, Irene!

I don't think I had ever even heard his name before, though I had seen The Kiss and The Thinker. Wow, I was just stunned by his work. It's always so interesting to see how these amazing people were connected to each other. (I LOVE your poem.)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463332371535167975noreply@blogger.com
