Rodin had a great influence on Rilke's poetic creation. Rilke regarded Rodin as an idol when he first met him on 1902, and later became Rodin's private secretary. Under the influence of Rodin's attitude of focusing on "work" and his realistic sculptures, Rilke gradually converged the romanticism in his early poems and began to write a lot of poems about objects.

Influenced by Rodin, Rilke demanded to get rid of traditional customs and observe the essence of things modestly and seriously. As Rodin said, sculpture is to remove redundant stones, and artists and poets should enter a state of no self. "Explore the reason why you wrote it and see if its roots are in your heart; You have to confess that if you can't write it, will you die? "
