Summary/Abstract: Does the poetic language make sense in the age of scientific and technical attack of battle and time? No one answered that question more credibly than the "last poet" with whom the withered power of modernity rose to a sign of the magnificent sophistication of a world in disarray. Already in the first of the ten Divine Elegies, Rainer Maria Rilke hits on the essence of what combines beauty and horror in a metaphysically opaque way. So, let's remember the song with which the reflexive analysis of what we still call time in the meaning of the spiritual battle as a connection/relationship between man and the world suitable for him begins. At the same time, Rilke does not take the figure of an angel only from the symbolic tradition of Christianity. Something else is much more important. Namely, the angel here is the mediator between the separated worlds, the hereafter and the hereafter. At the same time, it is a harbinger of future times and a bearer of the hidden meanings of the worldliness of the world.
