lonely
Something that never happened was so sudden,
I stay there forever,
I don't know anything, and no one else knows me.
It was as if I was under a chair.
It was as if I was lost in the night—
So and so and so and so it is not so
But I have stayed forever.
I asked the people who came later,
The women and the men,
They are doing something with such confidence
How they learn to live;
They don't really answer.
They continued to dance and live.
This is not already decided in one
Silent people happen,
And I don't want to go on
Because I was staying there waiting;
In that place and that day
I don't know what's going on
But I know I'm not the same person now.
Poetry is life, welcome to the "Caotang Reading Poetry" jointly launched by Cover News, Chengdu Radio and Television Station and Caotang Poetry Magazine, I am the reader juanzi. What you just heard was Neruda's poem "Loneliness", translated by Shen Rui.
Pablo Neruda is a famous contemporary Chilean poet. He began publishing poems at the age of 13, published his first collection of poems "Dusk" in 1923, and published his famous work "Twenty Love Poems and a Desperate Song" in 1924, and has since entered the Chilean poetry scene. In 1971, Neruda won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Today, let's share Neruda's story.
Many people are familiar with and like Neruda because of his love poem, the famous "I Like You are Silent", I don't know how many people have copied it. Neruda has had many emotional experiences and has countless friends. Through poetry, he embraced an endless number of people. But Neruda wrote in his autobiography: "In the early stages of my life, and perhaps in the second and third stages, I did spend a long time deaf and mute. And it may be hard for you to imagine that this poet, who is famous for his love poems and has rich emotional experience, was once extremely shy, saying that he was once reluctant to approach the girls, and once he met, he walked sideways and showed no interest. Neruda also admitted that he was not popular that year. He once read poetry in public but was applauded, and was coaxed off the stage with his companions. Because they read poems of mourning in the festive festivals, they swept away everyone's excitement.
After that, he also experienced the loneliest time of his life.
At that time, Neruda's poetry collection "Twenty Love Poems and a Desperate Song" made him famous in the literary and artistic circles, and then he was introduced as a consul abroad. From 1925 to 1935, Neruda traveled to Burma, India, Singapore and other eastern countries, but the language barrier and cultural differences made Neruda feel that he could not fit in at all. For a long time, he kept changing places of residence, often living alone by the sea, working and living alone every day, almost losing his understanding of time and geography. Although often in solitude, Neruda maintained a sensitive observation of what was going on around him. He said it was the loneliest time of his life, but it was also the most brilliant. He wrote his experience and observations in this period into the poetry collection "Abode on the Earth", from which we can see the life of a world-class poet, from ordinary to extraordinary, from loneliness to self-preservation to everything.
Neruda has walked through the unimaginable loneliness of ordinary people, but he has also been loved by ordinary people in a world that is unimaginable. He once said at the Nobel Prize: "There is no loneliness that cannot be broken." All roads converge to one point: our exchange. Only by breaking through loneliness, ups and downs, isolation and loneliness can we achieve the magical realm. ”
