Rilke Elegien / first Duino Elegy / poem markup

Over at my eclectic-pencil blog I have a note on my effort to offer Rilke's Elegies in a minimal HTML format.

The idea is that you can view and capture the German text or the HTML source and do your own work such as adding notes either to the text or to the web page.

In the days to come I will be testing a Curl poetry viewer which offers note-taking panes and translation snippets and the like.

Viewing poetry on the web so often is not 'reading' because even the F11 key leaves the 'page', well, let's say, "cluttered" with distractions.

O des Blutes Neptun, o sein furchtbarer Dreizack.
O der dunkele Wind seiner Brust aus gewundener Muschel.
