Home » Quote » Pablo Neruda » „If you should ask me where I’ve been all this timeI have to say “Things happen.”I have to dwell on stones darkening the earth,on the river ruined in its own duration:I know nothing save things the birds have lost,the sea I left behind, or my sister crying.Why this abundance of places? Why does day lockwith day? Why the dark night swilling roundin our mouths? And why the dead?“
