Welcome! This website uses the lines from Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies poems to generate new elegies, which you can read, print, or share. It is meant to further explore Rilke's language and find moments of conjunction or disjuncture that surprise or give reasons to look back at the original text anew. It is called SUPERABUNDANT EXISTENCE, a phrase from the end of ninth elegy, because I did not want it to be misconstrued as wholly mechanical or computational but rather as alive and even joyful. The full stanza in which the title is found reads "Look, I am living. On what? Neither childhood nor future/lessens . . . . . Superabundant existence/wells in my heart."
