Rilke Figurative Language
The important idea developed by Rilke in this passage is that beauty lies within individual, which originates from the heart and when it blossoms, it is expressed as a captivating, exquisite, and alluring spirit that is not easy to contain. World is the playground of beauty, it is found everywhere, in all the structures of space-time. Rilke uses the figurative language of ‘roots’ must spread into the “very depths of the heart” and it should ‘command to write’ to be a poet. This metaphor suggests that the willing to write must come from within, it must come from the inner core of the heart meaning that beauty lies in the inner self and cannot be found outside. And it is as vital to poetry as it roots are to a flora.
