Lentamente muore.
#PabloNeruda

Lentamente muore
chi diventa schiavo dell'abitudine,
ripetendo ogni giorno gli stessi percorsi,
chi non cambia la marca,
chi non rischia di vestire un colore nuovo,
chi non parla a chi non conosce.

@locasinloquero "Nosotros, los de entonces, ya no somos los mismos": he pensado mucho sobre ese verso del "Poema 20" de #PabloNeruda. Y tiene razón. Y la tienes tú. La respuesta racional a todo esto es la que propones y por la que opté hasta que cai en el lado emocional que siempre es contrario a la razón, y ya me siento mal porque ya me hizo dudar de todo. De todos modos, da igual lo que yo quiera o piense. No hay nada que hacer, y el tiempo ya pondrá de nuevo otra vez las cosas en su sitio, como siempre, pero meintras tanto, hay que ir pasándolo como mejor se pueda. Ya se irá pasando.

Today in Writing History July 12, 1904: Pablo Neruda, Chilean poet, diplomat, and Nobel Prize laureate was born. He started writing poetry in his early teens and was mentored by future Nobel laureate Gabriela Mistral, who ran his school. In 1924, at the age of 20, he published his second book of poetry, “Veinte Poemas de Amor y un Cancion Desesperada.” This book sold millions of copies and is still the best-selling book of Spanish poetry ever. Gabriel Garcia Marquez called him the greatest poet of the 20th century.

Neruda served as a Chilean diplomat in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, where he became radicalized, particularly by the execution of his friend Garcia Lorca, by Francisco Franco. After World War II, he served as a Chilean senator for the Communist Party, but had to go into hiding in 1948, when Communism was declared illegal in Chile. Neruda was hospitalized with cancer just as Pinochet was taking power through a coup d’etat and died in 1973. Many accused Pinochet of poisoning him, but a 2013 international forensic team determined that he died of prostate cancer.

"La Maldición Del Poeta"
Marco Antonio Vazquez
(cancion basada en la obra de Rafael de León)

Que estés durmiendo con otro
Y estés soñando conmigo
La maldición del poeta
Ese sera tu castigo

No te deseo más daño
Por que no entiendes mi drama
Despertar mil madrugadas
Solo en mi querida cama

Que ayer te tuve en sus brazos
Llena de amor y deseo
Le digas, ya no te quiero
Le digas, ya no te veo

A mi
Que por siempre abierta
Triste, de noche y día
De tu corazón la puerta
Me dices, no te quería

Late como desbocado potro
Mi corazón y hoy maldigo
Que estés durmiendo con otro
Y estés soñando conmigo

A mi
Que por siempre abierta
Triste, de noche y día
De tu corazón la puerta
Me dices, no te quería

Late como desbocado potro
Mi corazón y hoy maldigo
Que estés durmiendo con otro
Y estés soñando conmigo

@Wubira no sabia de ellos dos, sabía que #PabloNeruda estaba harto de sus veinte poemas, y que nunca pudo deshacerse de él.
Sí, y es que además avanzas, aprendes, y el primer libro... no suena tan a ti, sabes?? Yo he aprendido a vivir con el, a lo mejor tantos años de distancia hacen que lo vea con mas condescendencia... pobrecillo, no tiene la culpa de que su escritora fuera tan bruta...
Si acaso me descontrola hallar trozos de mi pasado que no recuerdo y que están ahí, como La Telaraña... hoy adivino a quien se lo escribí, pero no lo recuerdo en realidad...

Io non credo all’età. Tutti i vecchi portano negli occhi un bambino e i bambini a volte ci osservano come saggi anziani.
– Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda was poisoned to death, a new forensic report suggests
A toxicological report revealed the presence of a neurotoxin that experts say was likely administered intentionally

@locasinloquero Peeero: olvidaste que hay "segundas versiones" de poemas. #PabloNeruda, por ejemplo, en su libro más famoso ("20 Poemas de Amor y una Canción Desesperada"), publicó un "Poema 2" en la primera edición de 1924, que luego reescribió y corrigió para la segunda de 1932, que es la que finalmente ha sido reeditada en sucesivas ediciones hasta el día de hoy.

@carhol ¿...Eso era de #PabloNeruda?

Today in Labor History April 6, 1781: Tupac Amaru II was captured in Peru after being denounced by a turncoat. He led a large Andean uprising against the Spanish in Peru. As a result, he became a hero in the Peruvian struggle for independence and the indigenous rights movement. The Tupamaros revolutionary movement in Uruguay (1960s-1970s) took their name from him. As did the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary guerrilla group, in Peru, and the Venezuelan Marxist political party Tupamaro. The American rapper, Tupac Amaru Shakur, was also named after Tupac Amaru II. Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, wrote a poem called “Tupac Amaru (1781).” And Clive Cussler’s book, “Inca Gold,” has a villain who claims to be descended from the revolutionary leader.

#PabloNeruda

I want men, when they're born,
to breathe in naked flowers,
fresh soil, pure fire
not just what everyone breathes.
Leave the newborn in peace!

Leave room for them to live!
Don't think for them,
don't read them the same book;
let them discover the dawn
and name their own kisses.

-from Pablo Neruda "A Certain Weariness"

#PabloNeruda

I'm tired of the harsh sea
and the mysterious earth.
I'm tired of chickens--
we never know what they think,
and they look at us with dry eyes
as though we were unimportant.

-from Pablo Neruda "A Certain Weariness"
