Supplementary Questions “Things aren’t all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life.” TDQ 6: What words repeat in this passage? What belief does Rilke challenge through these repetitions? TDQ 7: What “life” does Rilke attribute to works of art? How does the life of art compare to human life? It may be necessary to offer students a definition of the word transitory as meaning “something that doesn’t last very long.” To supplement the sixth and seventh TDQs, we suggest providing ELLs the following supplementary questions: What does say mean? [ALL] Say means ________________. [EN, EM, TR] The suffix -able means “capable of.” What does sayable mean? (note that sayable is not a real word but that Rilke created it) [ALL] Sayable means _______________________________. [EN, EM, TR] What does unsayable mean? [ALL] Unsayable means ________________________________. [EN, EM, TR]
