His work is as such of a beautiful ache. It's oxymoronic, yet I want that level of sadness in my life. "I want to do to you what spring does with the cherry trees"
As an Indian I have not been exposed to south american culture as much I have been to North American, European even African. I am reading novel and poems of various south american writers and I am loving it.
Gabriela Mistral is another great Chilean author whose poems you might enjoy. She was actually the first South American to ever win a Nobel Prize in Literature (1945)! I absolutely love her writings for children, but she had a fierce political and social side that not too many people discuss about, unfortunately. Her life was really interesting too, so I don't think you'll regret getting to know more about her! All the best from Chile 🇨🇱
Well in Bengal we are lucky to have some great translations of Neruda in Bangla as well as of the entire oeuvre of Marquez...And in Bengali literary circles Latin America is discussed maybe too much sometimes...We have less knowledge of African Literature (except for Chinua Acebe..Everybody knows him) and North American literature.And Oceania...We know zilch about them.
I am North American, US to be exact, and I 100% agree. There is a very special psychologically and linguistically savoriness to their poetry and fiction and I am saving up to go there. I am fortunate enough to be English-Spanish bilingual, so I can also appreciate the rhythm and musicality and overall grandeur of their great writers' works, however if you do read it in English, especially Neruda, I recommend translations by the poet scholar WS Merwin. Enjoy.
I never heard of this author. I'm reading a lot of Paulo Neruda poems recently, and in love with the way he mixed imagination of his awareness and i also spotted social aspect as well. @@p.aulasy
*"Today, Neruda's lines are recited at protests and marches worldwide. Much like his life, Neruda's poems bridged romance and revolution by emphasizing the everyday moments worth fighting for."* Beautiful. I will never forget that.
If you need a cry, read my favorite poem of his: Tonight I can write the saddest lines. Write, for example, 'The night is shattered and the blue stars shiver in the distance.' The night wind revolves in the sky and sings. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. Through nights like this one I held her in my arms I kissed her again and again under the endless sky. She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too. How could one not have loved her great still eyes. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her. To hear the immense night, still more immense without her. And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture. What does it matter that my love could not keep her. The night is shattered and she is not with me. This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance. My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her. My sight searches for her as though to go to her. My heart looks for her, and she is not with me. The same night whitening the same trees. We, of that time, are no longer the same. I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her. My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing. Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before. Her voice. Her bright body. Her infinite eyes. I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long. Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her. Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer and these the last verses that I write for her. Edit: thanks so much for the likes! And Ted Ed noticed me too! You guys are awesome!!
@@MarkWTK I'm glad you liked it! This piece would forever haunt me of how how great of a poet Neruda is. You're just a different person after reading it.
As a chilean, that is used to read and listen to Neruda's poems in spanish, reading "Poema xx" in another languaje is really odd and kinda funny jajajs. But knowing that is appreciated by many people in other countries warms my heart 💖
This poem's impact is spot on. Though the lines don't rhyme, the words and the feelings of the author were very evident. It made me feel something. And that's what makes it so pleasing to the ears and why it can make my heart ache.
The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty. - Pablo Neruda
*Expressing emotions of love, sadness, courage, life in general.* What can be more fulfilling than to do things that you hold dearly to yourself and are the means of your inner expression?
I'm so glad that a platform like Ted-Ed is showcasing prominent Latin authors and poets such as Neruda, Borges and Marquez. Not only does it shine a light on often underappreciated figureheads of literature (at least in the U.S), but it cultivates more positivity and respect for Latin culture that tends to be dismissed or neglected in our general education. I think that another fantastic consideration for a video would be Rubén Darío of Nicaragua. He's one of the most notable vanguards of the literary movement modernismo, and his skill of imbuing aesthetic in poetry is unparalleled by many other modern contenders. It would be great to bring awareness not only to him, but to Nicaragua. Keep up the good work!
We can not deny the amazing mind of this man. His work and thoughts are brilliant and helped a lot of people. But He was extremely misogenous and has several lovers at the same time (without consent), he abandoned his sick daughter and mocked her deformities. It's ok to love his poems because they are incredible, and it's ok to be amazed by his achievements but we can't forget that Pablo has a very dark side, as the human that he is.
I'm learning Spanish with my main goals being 1) communication and 2) being able to read such masterworks as these in their original language, the way they're meant to be read. Thank you for adding Naruda to that list! ❤ I think I'll save Cien años de soledad for last, and work on being able to hold a conversation for now haha
Studying the basics through a course and practicing speaking would a good place to start. If you're just "winging it" I would recommend learning how to use spanish articles (femenine, masculine, indefinite, etc) and how to combine verbs (past, present, future, etc). Articles: Understanding why 'el juego' (the game) is correct and 'la juego' is incorrect. Verbs: How to combine basic tenses like 'yo hablé' (I talked), 'yo hablo' (I talk), 'yo hablaré' (I will talk). These concepts have helped people I know understand "the rules" quickly, and to apply them to other words or combinations of words. ¡Buena suerte!
@@ulvessens5902 Thank you for the encouragement! I actually already learned French so a great deal of the grammar was already sorted in my brain. I was literally laughing when I reached the future and conditional: they're almost the same as in French! Really the Préterito was what gave me trouble. Something that helped me in both languages was learning that words that end in -ème or -ema coming from Greek are always masculine, though they look as though they should be feminine! El systema, el planeta, el problema... My next step is just learning more vocabulary that's not immediately recognizable as Latin, and all the Arabic and native American words that snuck in too!
@@YouWinILose Sounds like you're well on your way to learning spanish, especially if you already know french! I think there are many similarities between languages like french, spanish and portuguese, so knowing one should help quite a lot (latin roots). Yes, some words are tricky because they seem like they should be feminine instead of masculine, but they are the exception, and it's just a matter of expanding vocab just like you said. I hope you are able to enjoy reading spanish literature, as translations, although coming close to the original "feel", cannot communicate all the slight differences in word meaning, the sound and cadence of words, and the overall beauty of a piece. Saludos.
If the translations of Neruda's poems give such an impact. What if we read them in the original language The same enthusiasm kindle in me. He was in my country Sri Lanka. These days I am reading a translation of his Memoirs. He is a Massive Humanitarian & a genuinely an honest man .
One reason why poetry is savoured so much in our world is that it puts into words feelings which are too subtle and deep for the average person to put into words.
THANK you so much for reading the poems in the language they were written in and giving us the translation on screen. It conveys the way it was meant to be taken in and I adore that we get to hear/see it both ways! Love the animation, great work as always!!!
I love these ted-ed narrators. Their voices are so engaging. I don't even like poetry yet i watched the whole video because of the animation and narration.
Chile una tierra de grandes poetas y pianistas (es un dicho usado aquí en Chile). Gracias por el video, muy claro. Saludos de un profesor de literatura chileno!!
Me encantan los poemas de Pablo Neruda. ME alegra ver que estamos reviviendo las bonitas cosas de nuestro mundo. Las nuevas generaciones deben de conocer todas estas historias.
I love Neruda, favorite poems have lines like these... "Love is so short... Forgetting is so long" and these "Don't leave me for a second, my dearest, because in that moment you'll have gone so far I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking, Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?" He is so wonderful.
I can't say I have actively read all of Neruda's work. But I have read a few, those few touched my heart. Poetry can speak to your soul in such a beautiful way. 💕
pablo nerudas works always get me emotional, and this video was no exception. the way her loved latinoamerica and its people is so deeply touching to me as a latina... thank you ted for the video
I’m from Parral, hometown of Neruda, it’s just a little city, but even the smallest lines from Pablo remembering this place makes me feel thankful for living here. Viva Parral y viva Chile!
I am in class 12 and I recently read the poem Keeping Quiet and I fell in love with it. It tells about his anti violent nature and I am so happy to know that he rescued 2000 refugee. It makes me so proud that I knew him before watching this video. Thank you TED for making this video. It is very good and I got to learn a lot about a very prominent person.
I cannot remember ever seeing an image of Pablo Neruda, yet I drew him years ago coming down from an acid trip while I was thinking of my father. At that time, I wanted to express a feeling of isolation, with people standing in the rain looking inside, judging me. Sadly, I'm a bad drawer of big scenes, so I simply sketched a man smoking. The similarity is striking to the man in the video. As for the original expression, I recently rediscovered a poem I wrote of a house grown cold, and the ability of a single whisper to turn it back into the place we call home. At the time, I thought it was about breaking up with someone, but seeing his image, and noticing the similarities of the themes of his poetry and mine (intimacy, intricacies of love, revolution), it made me think maybe the poem was about my father all along? Did I capture this feeling in a poem without knowing it? It wouldn't be the first time that my poetry has provided me with new insights. Poetry is always found unexpected, like an open palm welcoming whatever the wind lays on it and accepting whatever it blows away. It observes the beauty of the world, revels in its tragedy and we find comfort in words, words, words.
I just discovered thanks to this video a new poet and what was my surprise to learn that I could ignore a poet so well known ! I will immediately read his poems.
My favorite is "es tan corto el amor, y tan largo el olvido" it's so simple yet so profound and true. Also, thanks Ted Ed for having a Hispanic narrator.
"Much like his life, Neruda's poetry bridged romance and revolution by emphasizing the everyday moments worth fighting for." Thank you, Ted-Ed, Ilan Stavans, and the amazing video team!
One of the greatest. I never will forget my father's last words: Por qué no me lleva preso, Pa que se coma un choripán He went to buy cigarettes and never came back... Love you dad
Keeping Quiet was a poem we had in school syllabus and only yesterday I was talking to my friend over phone about that poem and other such amazing nostalgic poems. ❤️
What a great irony... Today I listened Pablo Neruda's poem, tonight I can write the saddest lines, in the collage where last year TedX program held. And I'm watching this after 1 week.
I love Neruda and his poems. Six years ago, I came across a line from his poem that says, "I will do with you, what spring does with the cherry blossom trees..."
Thank you Ted- Ed. I discovered him newly after watching this video. The poems of " Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair " revived themselves in me again.
I would love it if you guys tackled why people should read Pynchon or Gladdis! A lot of people (myself included) are often intimidated by the difficulty surrounding their books, but they're often brought up as such vital works I feel like we shouldn't shy away from them as we much as we do! Either way thanks so much for the videos. I love them all!
Everyone in Chile knows at least some phrases of his poetry. Even, the phrase "me gustas cuando callas" is probably one of the most popular sayings in the country.
I had to read one of his pieces "Walking Around" for my AP Spanish Literature class and it was so interesting seeing the way he saw and described things which were advanced for his time period.
Oh thank you ever so much amigo for this in depth ,I adore Pablo Neruda I'm infatuated with every word that he wrote and i vow to recite certain golden words from his masterpiece Si tú me olvidas at my wedding
Pablo Neruda el gigante de America Latina, Chile y su amazing poetry. Neruda y el Winnipeg ayuda a los refugiados españoles. Su amor por la vida, su contacto con el con el mundo. Neruda el hombre de Temuco y Isla Negra. Love Neruda poetry
El Cartero De Neruda, which novel I read in my early life, made it known to me who was Pablo Neruda and a bit history of Chile. I think it's a proper time to read his poem books again buried deep in my bookshelf.

The spanish parts being said in a spanish accent. 🙌🏻
I don't really care if they pronounce it bad, it is respectable.
@@TylerSolvestri Acttualy the pronunciation is good
@@PabloFloresgeo I'm not saying it is wrong, the guy obviously speaks Spanish, I never talked about his pronunciation particularly.
The narrator is mexican-born. His accent is nearer to the mexican accent than to the spanish accent.
@@cesargabriel5716 That's interesting he has a chilean accent too 🤭🤭 I thought the narrator was Chilean
Thank you Ted ed, for having an Hispanic narrator in this and the Don Quijote videos.
And that they give the Spanish audio with simply English texts, instead of English audio with English texts!
His voice is very soothing
I totally agree!! :)
Djcm to bad he wasn't Chilean.
Yeah, Like having a Hispanic cop, wielding the club, on the heads of Hispanic youth.
His work is as such of a beautiful ache. It's oxymoronic, yet I want that level of sadness in my life.

My favorite is "es tan corto el amor, y tan largo el olvido" it's so simple yet so profound and true. Also, thanks Ted Ed for having a Hispanic narrator.
I came across this video two years ago. Thanks to this video I became interested in poetry and Pablo Neruda’s poems helped me go through tough times.

"Much like his life, Neruda's poetry bridged romance and revolution by emphasizing the everyday moments worth fighting for."
Thank you, Ted-Ed, Ilan Stavans, and the amazing video team!
Always love Neruda! He made me fall in love, keep in, love and a crying shoulder for heartache.
I actually got into Neruda threw How I Met Your Mother, and I’m glad I did. Neruda’s work is fantastic
I read Keeping quiet in school. The poem seems more true than ever in quarantine.
I've read three of his poem collections so far, and I am in love with his penmanship.
One of the greatest. I never will forget my father's last words:
Por qué no me lleva preso,
Pa que se coma un choripán
He went to buy cigarettes and never came back... Love you dad
👏👏👏👏👏
Csm jakajajajajajajajaja
The voice is extraordinary.. Loved the voice and tone and texture of sound
I loved the way how in the end you said..."worth fighting for" with emphasis on 'fighting'
Thank you so much for providing these recources for ap Spanish literature
Pablo story was inspiring thank you for the homage you paid for the people
"I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul."

What a great irony... Today I listened Pablo Neruda's poem, tonight I can write the saddest lines, in the collage where last year TedX program held. And I'm watching this after 1 week.
I love Neruda and his poems. Six years ago, I came across a line from his poem that says, "I will do with you, what spring does with the cherry blossom trees..."
Undoubtedly thought provoking poems that I have ever read, mesmerizing at the same time haunting. My quest persists as I insist...
How have I never heard of him? The way we described the tuna to me was gold. I will check him out. Thanks.
As a 12th grade literature teacher I taught this poems to many of my batches. Every year with news audiences it was like…. Brand new
Pablo neruda King of poetry we stan!
Thank you Ted- Ed.
I discovered him newly after watching this video.
The poems of " Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair " revived themselves in me again.
Narrator's accent is beautiful
My favorite: "Eres todo lo que me queda, desde que perdí mi tristeza...".
I would love it if you guys tackled why people should read Pynchon or Gladdis! A lot of people (myself included) are often intimidated by the difficulty surrounding their books, but they're often brought up as such vital works I feel like we shouldn't shy away from them as we much as we do!
Either way thanks so much for the videos. I love them all!
"Pablo Neruda said laughter is the language of the soul." - Lisa
"I am familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda." - Bart
Everyone in Chile knows at least some phrases of his poetry. Even, the phrase "me gustas cuando callas" is probably one of the most popular sayings in the country.
"neruda's lines are recited at protests"
I once saw a sing that said "Neruda, cállate tú" at a feminist march lmao
Well he clearly saw women as objects but to be fair, almost everyone in Chile saw women like that during is lifetime
I had to read one of his pieces "Walking Around" for my AP Spanish Literature class and it was so interesting seeing the way he saw and described things which were advanced for his time period.
Oh thank you ever so much amigo for this in depth ,I adore Pablo Neruda I'm infatuated with every word that he wrote and i vow to recite certain golden words from his masterpiece Si tú me olvidas at my wedding
Gorgeous presentation of a divinely gifted and perceptive poet.
I knew him from Love Sonet XVII and I never know that he also wrote poems of our everyday object. This fact made him even more interesting.
I started reading Pablo Neruda's works after reading "keeping quiet". True masterpieces
I just watched the short film of all too well and discovered pablo Neruda... Just wow
The art in this video is amazing.
I read his "Keeping Quite" in my school . Still impacts in the same way.
My favourite thing about his poems is how you fall in love with different poems depending on what stage of a relationship you are living.
my favourite poet... and what a great man
The narrators’s voice is gorgeous
The best in the world. I love his poetry.
I am now familiar with the works of pablo neruda
Came here to say this
Pablo Neruda el gigante de America Latina, Chile y su amazing poetry.
Neruda y el Winnipeg ayuda a los refugiados españoles.
Su amor por la vida, su contacto con el con el mundo.
Neruda el hombre de Temuco y Isla Negra.
Love Neruda poetry
This channel puts incredible effort into his narrations and animations.
Thank you Ted Mosby, for introducing me to such a legend!
I don't recall loving any other poem as much as Keeping it Quiet by Pablo Neruda.
i love the ted videos like this, very good stuff informative and high class i keep learning new things from you and i would like to say thank you.
Neruda
Poetry is very interested and inspiring to read.
El Cartero De Neruda, which novel I read in my early life, made it known to me who was Pablo Neruda and a bit history of Chile. I think it's a proper time to read his poem books again buried deep in my bookshelf.
Thank you! What a wonderful and succinct sketch of the marvelous Pablo Neruda! ❤ one.
