"You, Who Never Arrived" by Rainer Maria Rilke

A deeply moving and introspective recital of Rainier Maria Rilke's poem, 'You, who never arrived'. The poem is an agonizing address to a beloved who remains ever elusive, never physically present yet continuously palpable in the narrator's world. The loss and longing for this beloved is expressed through vivid imagery, from landscapes and cityscapes to fleeting encounters, resonating a longing and a sense of loss over a lover who was 'lost from the start'. A captivating exploration of unrequited love and longing expressed through beautiful poetic language.
