| Pablo Neruda
A bibliophile of little means is likely to suffer often. Books don't slip from his hands but fly past him through the air, high as birds, high as prices.A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who doesn't play has lost forever the child who lived in him and who he will miss terribly.And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us. I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way. Now, on the road to freedom, I was pausing for a moment near Temuco and could hear the voice of the water that had taught me to sing. Peace goes into the making of a poem as flour goes into the making of bread. The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty. Will our life not be a tunnel between two vague clarities? Or will it not be a clarity between two dark triangles? You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming. |
