Question

what is the ''sadness'' that the poet refers to in the poem''keeping quiet''?​

Answer 1

Keeping Quiet is a poem written by Pablo Neruda.

Here with the word sadness, the poet refers to the non-stop activities of the humans that are ultimately harming their mental peace.

This madness of rushing for material gains is breaking the society into fragments, and people forget the values of humanity.

People are always trying to outdo others forgetting other priorities of life.
