  6. Love, We’re Going Home Now Love, we're going home now, Where the vines clamber over the trellis: Even before you, the summer will arrive, On its honeysuckle feet, in your bedroom. Our nomadic kisses wandered over all the world: Armenia, dollop of disinterred honey: Ceylon, green dove: and the YangTse with its old Old patience, dividing the day from the night. And now, dearest, we return, across the crackling sea Like two blind birds to their wall, To their nest in a distant spring: Because love cannot always fly without resting, Our lives return to the wall, to the rocks of the sea: Our kisses head back home where they belong.

  7. Neruda’s Style • Natural elements/ references to nature • Love • Passion • Loneliness

  8. Neruda’s Style “The graceful Olives Polished By the hands” • Odes • Repetition • Politics • Single words “turtle plated with severe amber scales” “Come See the blood along the streets Come see”

  9. Literary Criticism • Some considered a portion of his work as not even poetry but “rhetoric propaganda” • Called the “Lorca or Alberti of Spanish America” • He wrote “like breathing” but his style transformed over many years • Wrote “impure poetry” (a term which he coined) • An “obscure name” in the United States • “Jumble of quality and perversity”

  10. We Agree • A fair percent of his poems were ‘rhetoric and propaganda’ • He was the ‘Lorca or Alberti of Spanish America’ • Died with a high-volume of poems and transformation of style • He wrote “impure poetry” • ‘Jumble of quality and perversity’

  11. We Disagree • An ‘obscure’ name in the United States

  12. To Wrap Things Up… • Neruda has proven that the drive for success can be strong enough to knock down any walls that may be in the way • He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1971 • He died at 69 years old and with all his work collected together; in published form the book had well over 3000 pages
