10 of 52



"...I have said that you sang in the wind
like the pines and like the masts.
Like them you are tall and taciturn,
and you are sad, all at once, like a voyage.

You gather things to you like an old road.
You are peopled with echoes and nostalgic voices.
I awoke and at times the birds fled and migrated
that had been sleeping in your soul."

Oh, how I love Pablo Neruda!

This should be the top of your 2010 list. I think I may go buy it.
