Neruda for Saturday

From Isla Negra: Memorial de Isla Negra


Exiles! Distance

Grows thicker.

We breathe air through a wound.

To live is a necessary obligation.

So, a spirit without roots is an injustice.

It rejects the beauty that is offered it.

It searches for its own unfortunate country

And only there knows martyrdom or quiet.


-Pablo Neruda “Exiles”
