All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you.   Rilke, Rainer Maria

A bit about Rilke, Rainer Maria ...

Rainer Maria Rilke (4 December 1875 29 December 1926) is generally considered the German language's greatest 20th century poet. Though he never found a consistent verse form, his haunting images tend to focus on the problems of Christianity in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety. He is generally placed in the school of modernist poets, though his religious dilemmas may set him apart from some of his peers.
