Chris Lott's Cosmopoetica points to Le Grand Content, an animated film by Clemens Kogler that, in its creator's words, "manages to produce some magical nuance and shades between the great topics death, cable tv, emotions and hamsters."

- Here, under the panther's baleful gaze, you can follow the German text.
- Rilke fancier Brian Jones, on his eclectic site "The Beckoning," posts Robert Bly's English translation, with commentary, as well as sixteen alternate translations of the poem.
