On the sign:
THE PANTHER
In the Jardin des Plantes, Paris
His vision, from the constantly passing bars, has grown so weary that it cannot hold anything else. It seems to him there are a thousand bars; and benind the bars, no world.
As he paces in cramped circles, over and over, the movement of his powerful soft strides is like a ritual dance around a center in which a mighty will stands paralyzed.
Only at times, the curtain of the pupils lifts, quietly-. An image enters in, rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles, plunges into the heart and is gone.
-Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Stephen Mitchell.
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.
The current sign features a poem written by the Austrian poet and writer Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century.
