The Wait by Rainer Maria Rilke
It is life in slow motion, it's the heart in reverse, it's a hope-and-a-half: too much and too little at once.
It's a train that suddenly stops with no station around, and we can hear the cricket, and, leaning out the carriage
door, we vainly contemplate a wind we feel that stirs the blooming meadows, the meadows made imaginary by this stop.
