In the course of the Letters, Rilke articulates an understanding of personal development, advocating and describing what he calls "solitude," and cautioning against falling into "convention" or stifling one's growth by taking easy paths rather than undergoing the difficult growth that patience and time make possible. He ranges over a number of other topics, including Nature, Things, what poetry is and requires, what to make of sex, what love requires, childhood, time, and how to understand God. 2:20 - overview of the text and general themes 11:00 - the situation of Rilke as a poet, giving advice to a possible poet 21:00 - solitude, the most central theme 44:14 - development of oneself as a person, avoidance of falling into convention and easy paths 1:05:25 - Rilke on Things, God, sex and love
