I am here, Pablo Neruda.
There is such joy over here that it cannot be contained. Flowers
twinkle, and stars bring their odor of freshness. Of course, I am
speaking metaphorically, since I cannot convey in earth language
the splendor of this spirit world. The most beautiful things of
Nature on earth are only pale shadows of what we spirits experience.
I live now in the fifth sphere, and everything around me is poetry.
The energy of matter is transformed into a vital pulse of freshness,
and everywhere I go, I am greeted by the dawn of new perceptions
and hopes realized.
Oh come, life! And bring me ever closer to the flames of love.
Pablo Neruda (July 12, 1904 – September 23, 1973) was
the pen name and, later, legal name of the Chilean writer and communist
politician Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto.
With his works translated into manifold languages, Pablo Neruda
is considered one of the greatest and most influential poets of
the 20th century. Neruda was accomplished in a variety of styles
ranging from erotically charged love poems like his collection Twenty
Poems of Love and a Song of Despair, surrealist poems, historical
epics, and overtly political manifestos. In 1971 Neruda won the
Nobel Prize for Literature, a controversial award because of his
political activism. Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez
once called him "the greatest poet of the 20th century in any
language". (Source: Wikipedia)
