and let loose the wind in the fields.
Bid the last fruits to be full;
Bid the last fruits to be full;

give them another two more southerly days,
press them to ripeness, and chase
press them to ripeness, and chase
the last sweetness into the heavy wine. —Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Galway Kinnell and Hannah Liebmann
