After gaining fame, Rilke deeply regretted his early works, but everything he wrote in Prague was not entirely worthless. Although he had not yet found his own artistic path at the time, his works were mostly imitative and melancholic, yet they also lacked sensitivity and pursuit of beauty. Some shining masterpieces were enough to foreshadow the poet's future, such as Offerings to the House Spirits, Coronation in a Dream, and Celebrate for Me. The Book of Images is a collection frequently mentioned in literary history. It was first published in 1902 and revised and republished in 1906. These poems attempt to use "images" to structurally fix the entire work, representing a transition from vague sorrow to precise form.
