"not only that our ephemeral nature has to be accepted, but that it is a guarantee of human meaning," she [Eva Hoffman] cites his meeting with the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, "who experienced a terror of mortality and who disconsolately felt that the transience of all things human meant that, ultimately, they had no value; they didn't count."from David L. Ulin: Los Angeles Times: 'Time' by Eva Hoffman
