Barrows and Macy spoiled me, I think, with Book of Hours; I approach Rilke needing that facing-page translation, just for a sense of how the original poem was shaped.

Possibly, given that these poems were written at the same time as the Duino Elegies, I need to be more familiar with those, as a different sort of facing-page understanding.

At any rate: either Stone's translation is weak, or these poems are weaker than Rilke's others.
