On Looking Inward (from The First Letter, 10, 12) (The subtitles are my own and the numbers refer to the pages in the hyperlinked book.)ġ. Rilke’s words touch the human soul and invite change. Despite the title, Rilke’s words are not limited to the young or would-be poets. Rilke’s letters were published posthumously as Letters to a Young Poet. Rilke offered wisdom rather than answers, a way rather than a destination. Kappus began the correspondence seeking Rilke’s judgment and critique of his poetry. Over a period of about six years Kappus and Rilke exchanged letters. “When a truly great and unique spirit speaks, the lesser ones must be silent,” Franz Xaver Kappus wrote about Rainer Marie Rilke. ![]() ![]() ![]() But when the Fair comes to an end, one of them will have to give up their dream.

The 1951 version of the film, with Alastair Sim as Scrooge, is often touted as being the best. Other versions of the film so often succeed at being dour, while failing to capture the joyous aspects of the story, and the humour Scrooge himself sometimes provides. More importantly, I have seen no other version which manages to combine the miserable qualities of Scrooge with the touches of wit and humour which Dickens so skillfully wrote with. Aside from the scene in "hell", this film is admirably true to the spirit and content of Dicken's text, with some inevitable cuts which frankly, I didn't miss. ![]() In fact, there is no other Christmas film, which has contributed so many songs to my Christmas repertoire!
