by Rainer Maria Rilke

I am *too* alone ...

“I am alone in the world, and yet not alone enough to make every hour holy...”
―Rainer Maria Rilke
Source/Notes:
Das Stunden-Buch (The Book of Hours) (1905)

In the original German poem, Rilke says, “I am too alone.” Thus, all the translations here do not quite match. Maybe you want to adapt them?
I’m not sure how well “to make holy” matches “weihen” here.

Well, I've made some changes...
