how and why does the neruda shows the healing power of nature?? -(Keeping Quiet)
Answers
Answer:
Ans-Pablo Neruda stresses the importance of stillness and the need of quiet introspection. There is a great need of creating a feeling of mutual understanding among human beings. He urges neither to talk nor to make movements of arms. He asks to stop hurry and the working of machines for a moment. He even asks the fishermen and the salt gatherers to stop working. He is against wars because the victory is meaningless without the survivors. Rather he urges the different war wagers to come together and go out for a walk with their brothers. It will create a feeling of mutual understanding.
The poet further says that we should not confuse stillness with total inactivity. Total inactivity would amount to death as the poet has no association with death. He wants silence for a while which can soothe our feelings and help us in removing the sadness. We must learn a lesson from the earth which always remains alive though everything seems dead. Thus the life goes on the earth under apparent stillness.
