Pablo Neruda

After Nicanor Parra, Chile poetry returns. Chile should be considered a great place when we speak about spanish-american poetry. Today: Pablo Neruda, Nobel Prize in 1971.








Pablo Neruda, July 12th, 1904 – September 23th 1973. Pen name of Ricardo Eliecer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto.

SCENT FEELING

Scent
of lilacs ...

Clear evenings of my remote infancy
that flowed as the course of the calmness waters

And later an agitated handkerchief at a distance.
Under a silk sky, a star that scintillates.

Nothing more. Tired feet in great trips.
And a pain, a pain that bites agains and become sharper.

...And in the distant bell towers, songs, penalties, anxieties
virgins who got pupils so candies.

Scent
of lilacs...

Pablo Neruda
