 - Quote by Rainer Maria Rilke)
Save![If your love for […] wants to do something now, then its work and task is this: to catch up with what it has missed. For it has failed to see whither this person has gone, it has failed to accompany her in her broadest development, it has failed to spread itself out over the new distances this person embraces, and it hasn’t ceased looking for her at a certain point in her growth, it wants obstinately to hold fast to a definite beauty beyond which she has passed, instead of persevering, confident of new shared beauties to come.”—from letter to Paula Modersohn-Becker Bremen (February 12, 1902) - Quote by Rainer Maria Rilke](https://quotes.cx/wp-content/uploads/quotes/1/0/Rainer-Maria-Rilke-Quote-107932.jpg "If your love for […] wants to do something now, then its work and task is this: to catch up with what it has missed.
