Item Overview

Description

discussing a commemoration for Bernhard von der Marwitz, referring apparently to an altered version by him in a speech of a poem by Rilke, commenting on and approving of his alteration, mentioning von Winterfeldt, enclosing a letter from the artist Moritz Heymann [not included here], and thanking him for his trouble from which much good will flow

...Und die Abänderung: es geht wohl bei keinem Gebrauch ohne irgend eine Veränderung des Gebrauchten ab, und so sehr meine Fassung an dem Platze, dem sie zugedacht war, im Recht sein mochte, Ihre momentane Version entsprach vollkommen dem Geiste des gesteigerten Augenblickes...

4 pages in all, 8vo, Schloss Duino, 25 April 1914 and Château de Muzot, Sierre, 192[?], ring-binder holes, slightly affecting text in a few places
