By Bernardo Reyes. July 2010.
Nothing songs: keep the winnings. Dura night! The dried blood smokes on my face, and I have nothing behind me, out of that horrible little tree! ... The spiritual combat is as brutal as the battles of men, but the vision of justice is only God's pleasure. Meanwhile, we are on Wednesday. Receive all the influences of real force and tenderness. And at dawn, armed with a burning patience, we shall enter the splendid cities.
From "A Season in Hell" Jean Arthur Rimbaud (April-August 1873)
The boy met Rimbaud in Temuco. Maybe if the first copy was provided by Augusto Winter, founder and director of the Public Library of Puerto Saavedra and listening to the chorus read monotone of the waves. It is also possible that Juvencio Valle, his little buddy, had lent him the copy of " A Season in Hell ." Juvencio always been the most intellectual of the two, but always knew that Paul was a "mystical matter" as defined Gabriela Mistral years later.
Neruda was about thirteen or fourteen years, and never forget this lesson of light. Rimbaud returns to East at 24 or 25 years, and remembers back in 1954 when Chile receives the Stalin Prize strengthening peace among peoples , in his memorable " Ode to Jean Arthur Rimbaud " Part of his book "Elemental Odes New " written by then. And then it does so very visible in his speech when receiving the Nobel Prize.
did he find so attractive Neruda the poet wild and dissolute, who walks the streets of Paris with her lover Paul Verlaine, completely drunk on absinthe and hashish?
The Decline and splendor of visionary relationship with the abyss, where it merges to the desire for survival, flight, and the rapid sequence of memory that seeks to cling to what it was: the human condition not as a definition dazzling view from certain philosophical or ethical beliefs, but as the act of breathing and the imminence of quitting. Neruda
emulates Rimbaud, first in his early years in Santiago, at 17 or 18, when the euphemistically called bohemia almost daily Neruda lived dangerously with alcohol and morphine. East
Then, when you consume opium frequently.
The story may well be part of the chronic yellow character has to wear clothes with bohemian poet, within the canons of caricature previously defined in the dance of power.
But this descent into hell Nerudian, was far from being an act of life and impost rimbaudiana poetic voice, and it is your own work that proves it.
The survivor of what he called the "bright solitude " emerges from asphyxia and wrote Residencia en la Tierra, work that earned her the recognition of English poets with just thirty years, when it reaches the Iberian peninsula to meet with their consular functions.
is a vibrant testimony of a process, a baptism with water at night, where the fallen angel wants to leave evidence of having survived. However
to 106 years old, this visceral process with loneliness and limits, is left aside to make colorful flags waving Nerudian supermarket, that it sells to the highest bidder verse adapted to any circumstance.
The poet may have the formal and informal patronage of all who deny their ideological tinged poetry of his poetry as well as cryptic as long as "the poet of love " or " the poet of simple things "prevail.
The Fundación Pablo Neruda for the development of poetry to, born to the fiftieth anniversary of the poet and the first stone was laid in the backyard Michoacán (1954, street Linch N º 164, district of La Reina, Santiago). The poet in his fifties, receiving the Stalin Peace Prize , was functional to the cult of personality, and that's total evidence.
However, in the 70's, the poet made the donation of land adjacent to Isla Negra and lays the foundation Cantalao Foundation.
Cantalao is the name of the mythical village of The hope inhabitant, who baptizes with the institution responsible for propagating letters, arts and sciences . The construction would have to have units for guests, theaters, aquariums etc. Any service structure to encourage the creation.
However, and paradoxically, the current Pablo Neruda Foundation, ignoring the will of the poet, Stalinist power structure, top down, focusing on the beatification of the idol immaculate.
This July 12 the foundation did not celebrate the birthday of the poet. Its contribution to the entertaining culture focused on opening the doors of the museum for free, a day earlier.
