Question
A poem addressed to a performer of this action ends by asking, “has not the drawing / endured, the dark line your eyebrows traced / swiftly in the texture of their own turning?” In another poem, a performer of this action is said to have “stood / suddenly, as if youth were cast in bronze; / sorrowing, listening.” Per William Gass’ translation, one poem declares that a performer of this action is “just a bourgeois in costume” and “enters his house by the kitchen door.” In another poem, a performer of this action is said to have (*) “naked arms” that “alertly strike, / clattering like fearful rattlesnakes.” The fifteenth Sonnet to Orpheus twice repeats a command to “[this action] the orange.” Another poem begins by comparing a performer of this action to a match that “bursts in flame and to all sides / licks its quivering tongues.” For 10 points, a Rainer Maria Rilke poem is titled for a “Spanish” performer of what action? ■END■
