We know that a man can read Goethe or Rilke in the evening that he can play Bach and Schubert and go to his day's work at Auschwitz in the morning.
My dad wanted to name me after Rainier Maria Rilke the poet.
I was always an observer even as a child. I could be satisfied to sit in a car for 3 hours and just look at the street go by while my mother went shopping.
