Title	... mit dem Engel reden
Text to be translated Submitted by Lev van Pelt	Source language: Nemacki NÃ¤chstens will ich mit dem Engel reden, ob er meine Augen anerkennt.
Remarks about the translation	These are the first two verses from an uncollected (and not well known) poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, written in 25.9.1914. I know the whole poem by heart, and understand well its meaning (even I've translated it into my own mother tongue); but I'd love to read these two verses in Latin, and in classical Greek. A fancy, perhaps; but quite an urge as well...
