will,
You surely must know the story of how Rilke brought Rodin to the Hotel
Biron, which, in time, became the Musee Rodin. And that RMR, while living in
the hotel, wrote some of his finest works: "Requiem" (for Paula Modersohn
Becker) and much of his novel, _The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge_. He
recently had finished his _New Poems: The Other Part_, in 1908, (the second
volume of the Ding-Gedichte that owed so much to Rodin's influence) and
dedicated it to Rodin. If you click on the below, it should take you to a
blow-up of an illustration in the Archives section of the Musee Rodin
website and you will see the actual book with RMR's original inscription to
Rodin, and one can make out that distinctive signature.
