On October 1, Scottie, in part, wrote:

"Publication--which we all long for--is, finally, irrelevant."

I image JDS, when he ran his eyes over that, nodded his head.  More than
once.

And a quote from the Rilke translator and scholar, J.B. Leishman:

"One of the most remarkable facts about the last twenty years or so of
Rilke's life is that publication seems to have become more and more
indifferent, or even irrelevant, to him, as though all that mattered was
that he should continue to be and to remain a poet."

(Which is not to forget  that JDS and RMR published some books *before* they
reached this stage.)
