It is extremely important...
...that someone rhapsodize an essay about Rilke's attraction to Schopenhauer's thought. I will wait calmly, yet with a certain impatience, for someone to write what Schopenhauer meant to Rilke and how that influence might have affected the nature of his poems, thematically and tonally.
If Rilke was attracted to his thought, I might be able to be persuaded to crack open Schopenhauer, BUT....and that is BUT, reluctantly. Why I am I skeptical? I suppose, because I am a woman.
