11. !!! This is so funny because just today I pulled a facing page translation of this for someone at the library AND a friend was telling me about it recently. (I have yet to read it, but I have put it on hold. Can you recommend a good translation?)
12. Hell yes!
13. Wooo!
The other day I thought how nice it would be to host a blog site that had only posts like this- Great minds think alike even from across the country!
Dear JAN -
2. Why didn't you tell me, I can't believe I've spent XX years calling you Jen) - Did you change hairdressers?

11. What friend would give you a gift like that, I wonder? Translations...hmmm I'm not sure. I have only read him in German. I translated my favorite part of the Elegies myself a while back, because I couldn't find a translation I liked, but that's only a small portion. I'll do some checking. Anne might know, because she was the saucy young firebrand in the German department back in the day.
Dear ANNE -
You should totally do it! Lists are satisfying, yet low commitment. Do you know of a good Rilke translator?
