An Arts Fuse regular feature: the arts on stamps of the world.
By Doug Briscoe
Rather skimpy fare on today’s AoSotW: only six artists, and of them only Rilke is a household name (in households like yours, that is).
The works of Bohemian-Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 – 29 December 1926) have inspired a legion of composers. Besides settings by all three of the central figures of the Second Viennese School, Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern (whose birthday was just yesterday!), Rilke’s poems have attracted our finest composers for over a century, among them Milhaud, Hindemith, Frank Martin, Dutilleux, Stefan Wolpe, Stockhausen, Krenek, Penderecki, and Rautavaara. The last two movements of Shostakovich’s Fourteenth Symphony are set to texts from Rilke’s Das Buch der Bilder. Some of the best American composers have also found Rilke’s work a source of inspiration: Samuel Barber, George Perle, Donald Martino, Stephen Paulus, Peter Lieberson, Lee Hoiby, and Vivian Fine, to name a few. Some of the many other composers who have set Rilke’s poetry are Alma Mahler, Henk Badings, Ernst Toch (whose birthday is three days from now, but no stamp), Viktor Ullmann, and Dora Pejačević.

Baratashvili Nikoloz
Nikoloz Baratashvili (b. December 4, 1817, Tbilisi — d. October 21, 1845, Ganja, buried in the Mtatsminda Pantheon of Tbilisi) was a poet.
Baratashvili was born into an impoverished aristocratic family. After graduating from Tbilisi Noble School and Classical Gymnasium (1835), he dreamed of going to Russia for higher education. This plan failed due to lack of funds of his once distinguished family. The poet's intention to serve in the military remained unfulfilled due to lameness. Despite the deep spiritual depression that was observed in the life of Georgian society after the collapse of the Georgian Plot of 1832 against Tsarist regime, Baratashvili and other young writers were still engaged in cultural and social life.
All of Baratashvili's plans were hindered by the danger of the complete impoverishment of his father's family along with the ineptitude and hardships of living in the province. Baratashvili was forced to assume the position of an employee at the chancellery. Personal drama (unrequited love for Ekaterine Chavchavadze) intensified his emotional state. All of this left a deep mark on Baratashvili. In his personal letters, which are brilliant examples of the epistolary heritage, his experience of “harsh fate” and the unbearable spiritual
