Childhood
Rainer Maria Rilke
1902
Introduction
Rainer Maria Rilke's Childhood
is included in his collection Das Buch der Bilder, first published in 1902. Various writers have translated the volume as The Book of Images
or The Book of Pictures.
The poem can also be found in Robert Bly's collection of translations, Selected Poems of Rainer Maria Rilke. The Book of Images was published just after The Book of Hours and just before New Poems and marks a shift in Rilke's poetic development toward more imagistic, slightly less sentimental verse.
