Translator William O'Daly says Neruda was a man of politics and poetry and that in this volume he celebrates the regenerative power of nature. Daly"s ten page introduction is an excellent prelude to this beautiful group of poems. I do not understand Spanish but sometimes my eyes stray to the side of the page where the poem is in its original language and I seem able to feel the rhythm of the lines. For those unacquainted with Neruda, here are two favorites of mine. We Are Waiting There are days that haven't arrived yet, that are being made like bread or chairs or a product from the pharmacies or the woodshops: there are factories of days to come: they exist, craftsmen of the soul who raise and weigh and prepare certain bitter or beautiful days that arrive suddenly at the door to reward us with an orange or to instantly murder us. Here I came here to count the bells that live upon the surface of the sea, that sound over the sea, within the sea. So, here I live. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
The sound of ships' bells, sea waves, and migratory birds fuel Neruda's longing to retreat from life's noisy busyness. Stripped to essentials, these poems are some of the last Neruda ever wrote, as he pulled "one dream out of another." Includes the final lovesong to his wife, written in the past tense: "It was beautiful to live / When you lived!" Bilingual with introduction. "Deeply personal, expansive, and universal... majestic and understated beauty."-"Publishers Weekly" No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Many of these poems feel unfinished, not just because they have no titles, but they lack that final quality of workmanship Neruda gives to his collections as they are published. Read this collection regardless. Neruda unfinished is superior to so many poets writing today and the collection as a whole rewards us as we experience the haunting sea and silent bell. ( )
