Rainer Maria Rilke

Extinguish my eyes,

 I'll go on seeing you. 

Seal my ears,

 I'll go on hearing you.

 And without feet I can make my way to you, 

without a mouth I can swear your name.

 Break off my arms,

 I'll take hold of you with my heart as with a hand. 

Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.

 And if you consume my brain with fire,

 I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.”

 ― Rainer Maria Rilke
