Also, his mother was Jewish.

All you did was post a picture and a name. You hardly bothered to make a post at all. Don't be surprised when your OP attracts similarly low-IQ, low-test individuals.

maybe the name of his godmother it's usual to do that in europe

>> No.21810258

>>21810168
What about him looks remotely Jewish? His nose looks German.
>his mother was Jewish
Yet he was raised as a Catholic, the Josef Maria part of the name is a dead giveaway.

He doesn’t look like “the most Germanic looking motherfucker”, are you insane? Looks like a typical European Jew (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

>>21810278
I guess my issue is more so WHAT about him makes him look more Jewish than Germanic? To me he legitimately looks like an average Austrian from the time.

>> No.21810357

I like him but I think his duino elegies are given too much attention in comparison to his other work, a stanza of his which has always stuck with me is

Du aber bist der tiefste Mittellose,
der Bettler mit verborgenem Gesicht;
du bist der Armut große Rose,
die ewige Metamorphose
des Goldes in das Sonnenlicht.

Alone Thou wanderest through space.
Profound One with the hidden face;
Thou art Poverty's great rose,
The eternal metamorphose
Of gold into the light of sun.

He’s oddly pretty popular, I’ve seen a lot of him at barnes and noble and other such, I don’t think the translations available are the best but, but ultimately I enjoyed his Orpheus sonnets and other works, I also like his story.

He looks Bohemian (as in the region, Bohemia)

He looks half jew. I had a friend who looked just like that, half jew. Exactly the same look.

>>21810030
His parents were expecting a girl. Happens all the time, the girl's name ends up being the middle name.

>> No.21812477

>>21810030
It's a catholic thing to give your son the second name Maria. I went to a Catholic private school in Germany and my Latin teacher also had that middle name.
