He finished the third elegy in 1913 and the fourth in 1915, but the war and his conscription into the Austro-Hungarian army triggered further depression. In the days after hearing the first line, Rilke wrote the first two of the ten elegies that make up the full 859-line poem, and he also drafted other passages, including what would become the beginning of the tenth elegy. Rilke, who was then in his mid-30s and already established as an important European poet, was staying at the castle on the Adriatic while he recovered from a period of depression. ![]() The Prague-born Austrian poet noted down the first line of the poem, Wer, wenn ich schriee, hörte mich denn aus der Engel / Ordnungen?
