Abstract
On 12 August 1904, Rilke wrote to Franz Kappus:
If there is anything morbid in your processes, just remember that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself of foreign matter [ein Organismus sich von Fremdem befreit]; so one must help it to be sick, to have its whole sickness and break out with it, for that is its progress.1
