"Sonnets to Orpheus" poet (5)
I believe the answer is:
rilke
'sonnets to orpheus poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for rilke that I've seen before include "he once wrote" , "Bohemian poet?" , "Rainer Maria --, Austrian poet" , "Rainer Maria ---, German poet" .)
