Rainer Maria Rilke Quote

we are continually overflowing toward those who preceded us, toward our origin, and toward those who seemingly come after us.... It is our task to imprint this temporary, perishable earth into ourselves so deeply, so painfully and passionately, that its essence can rise again invisibly, inside us. We are the bees of the invisible. We wildly collect the honey of the visible, to store it in the great golden hive of the invisible.
