Today I’ll enjoy his poem while letting myself bewitched by the “soft unfolding of the waves” underneath my feet… 😏 that might be one of the best anesthetics I could think of to cure any illness of the soul, even if only for a brief moment
Thank you for this mesmerizing poem. Recently I returned from visiting Orkney.... where the north Atlantic & the North Sea collide in the Scapa Flow...
Thank you for this sumptuous poem. One to be read over and over aloud. I love Pablo Neruda and have a few of his books that print the poems in both Spanish and English. What a lovely way to learn a language. Thank you again.
Ah, yes! The call of the sea. I hear it, know it, and shall soon be with my beloved and never leave him. Find me writing and living in Zihuatanejo, Mexico this winter!! (Surviving in lakes region, Wisconsin, for summer).
“... celebrates the centenary of the birth of Pablo Neruda, one of the most widely read and best-loved poets of the twentieth century. Although anthologies of Neruda's works abound, On the Blue Shore of Silence is the first to collect some of his poems on the sea.”
What excruciating beauty
Just what I needed to hear today. Thanks for for spotlighting Pablo.
