RAINER MARIA RILKE, POETA DE LO INVISIBLE. LA TRASCENDENCIA DE LA MUERTE EN LA OBRA TARDÍA DEL POETA: LAS ELEGÍAS DEL DUINO Y LOS SONETOS A ORFEO

This paper proposes a philosophical-literary interpretation of the work of Rainer Maria Rilke, carried out, fundamentally, from: Duino Elegies (1923) and Sonnets to Orpheus (1923). It is suggested that the Rilkean work contains a proposal for a solution to the existential problem of man in the world, in the context of the crisis of modernity. The poet describes a way to achieve a new human root, whose fundamental axis is the acceptance of death, which is materialized in the acquisition of awareness of one’s own body and its finitude, based on sensitive experiences.
