(Abel speaks)

I am not. The brother did something to me that my eyes didn’t see. He veiled the light. He hid my face with his face. Now he is alone. I think he must still exist, for no one does to him what he did to me. All have gone the same way: all are met with his rage, beside him all are lost.

I sense my older brother lie awake as if accused. Night offers itself to me, not to him.

— Rainer Maria Rilke, Book of Hours: Love Poems to God, tr. Anita Barrows & Joanna Macy
