“Beware, O wanderer, the road is walking too.”

Harrison quotes Rilke’s unpublished line:

"I had to speak at Sam Lawrence's memorial service in New York and I was flipping through books again. Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Duino Elegies. At the end there are what show business calls "out takes", intended lines that Rilke didn't use. I said one at the memorial service: "Beware, o wanderer, the road is walking too."
