I think Graham's angels are made almost entirely out
of language, whereas Levis' angels are made of light.
IMO Rilke is there in Levis' early work, but disguised
by a more colloquial diction; later, Levis' language
becomes elevated in a quite unamerican manner. Only
the greatest poets, perhaps, can manage the high
style.
