The fifty-third installment in our epistolary new series.
Rilke says in one of his letters to the young poet, he says something like, “Rome is beautiful because all places are beautiful.” I get the root sentiment: that our capacity for pleasure is more reliant on internal, as opposed to external, factors. Having said that, I’m guessing Rilke never spent a long weekend in Gary.
I’m confused. Is Gary the young poet?
That’s gross.
Okay, and funny.
