Title: OUITSTANDING
Review: Rilke, without doubt the outstanding poet of the 20th century in any language(PS he also wrote poems in French). I must respectfully disagree with the reviewer who believes the last line of Der Panther ("...und hoert im Herzen auf zu sein")to be mistranslated. There is some ambiguity, but certainly the obvious meaning is as rendered in this book: the vision the panther sees enters his heart and there ceases to be (not the vision stopping in his heart and there continuing to be or exist). Otherwise the line should have a comma ("...und hoert im Herzen auf, zu sein").
Is the review positive or negative?
