I think he was referring to Rilke. Kierkegaard wasn't German or really
a poet, and Kafka was better known for his novels and stories (besides
being Czech, though he wrote in German).

I *think* we might've had this discussion before (many years ago) but I'm too lazy to check the archives. The only candidates I can come up with (via "Seymour") are Kierkegaard and Kafka but unfortunately (alley oop I'm afraid) I can't recall their countries of origin.
