In the poem Keeping Quiet by Pablo Neruda, the poets says that keeping quiet will assist us in introspecting on our destructive actions such as waging wars or harming the environment. This will give us a better idea of the outcomes of the actions, therefore changing our attitude to life
Explanation:
- The poet talks of the need for silence and quiet introspection and the value of calmness and quietude. He also speaks about creating a sense of shared understanding between men. By this there will be an end to all forms of conflicts. Keeping quiet will help us introspect, reflect and experience silence and peace. This will in turn assist us in finding solutions to our problems
- During these few moments of quietness and introspection all people would be unified and in harmony with nature and each other. This oneness and togetherness is desirable and essential for the Earth's survival and of human beings as well. When the people are silent for a moment, they remember their life's meaning. Even like all natural things experience a rebirth with the transition of time, so keeping quiet is a rebirth of the human soul. This gives our lives a new meaning.
- The poet wishes us to be still, to cease our confused and hurried movements and try to be calm for a change instead of being restless all the time. The poet suggests that there is life in nature under apparent stillness via the example where The Earth teaches us in what way new life evolves from the dead remains. It gives us lessons about resurrecting and sustaining life.
