October is a month dedicated to the Rosary; this poem is a nice reflection on the Joyful Mysteries.
Annunciation to Mary by Rainer Rilke
The angel’s entrance (you must realize) was not what made her frightened.
The surprise he gave her by his coming was no more
than sun or moon-beam stirring on the floor
would give another, - she had long since grown
used to the form that angels wear, descending,
never imaging this coming-down
was hard for them...No, not to see him enter…
that when he looked, and she looked up at him,
their looks so merged in one
the world outside grew vacant, suddenly,
and all things being seen, endured and done
were crowded into them, just she and he
eye and its pasture, visions and its view
here at the point and at this point alone—
See, this arouses fear. Such fear both knew.
