Quotations of Pablo Neruda

(English below) Mi discurso será una larga travesía, un viaje mío por regiones, lejanas y antípodas, no por eso menos semejantes al paisaje y a las soledades del norte. Hablo del extremo sur de mi país. Tanto y tanto nos alejamos los chilenos hasta tocar con nuestros limites el Polo Sur, que nos parecemos a la geografía de Suecia, que roza con su cabeza el norte nevado del planeta. My speech is going to be a long journey, a trip that I have taken through regions that are distant and antipodean, but not for that reason are less similar to the landscape and the solitude in Scandinavia. I refer to the way in which my country stretches down to the extreme South. So remote that our boundaries almost touch the South Pole, recalling the geography of Sweden, whose head reaches the snowy regions of this planet. Nobel Prize in Literature Laureate Pablo Neruda, 1971
