Extravagaria | Pablo Neruda

"For once on the face of the earth,
let's not speak in any language;
let's stop for one second,
and not move our arms so much"

And let's read some Neruda as a cure for #restlessness. Couldn't fit the whole poem in the image but it's available here https://www.brainpickings.org/2015/05/28/keeping-quiet-sylvia-boorstein-reads-pa...

merelybookish Well that slays! Poets writing in Spanish are on ? (Also, I just adore the phrase "no truck" -- so points to the translator too.) 6y
