In the poem, the speaker expresses deep feelings of loneliness and sorrow due to perhaps being far away from his love. His passionate love gives him so much pain because she is not there with him and might be somewhere else far away with someone else.
The yearning for love is an experience in crushing helplessness. When corrosive loneliness and an unbearable sense of barren isolation overpower, the longing for union, all on a sudden, perches on our hearts. We look out and see "blue night dropping upon the world". We seek freedom but the soul is clenched. A melancholy, deep and dark, holds us. Within the labyrinth of disillusionment we recall happy days of togetherness. The flow of time reverses. Within black clouds of despair we search for the lost rays of light. A cry rises from the depths of our being but only we can hear it. Torn apart and lost we are encircled by the sorrow of alienation. "Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly/ when I am sad and feel you are far away?" asks Neruda. The heart is aflame, memories glow ("Sometimes a piece of sun/ burned like a coin in the hand"). The poem "Clenched Soul" captures the darkness created by departure and the barrenness of endless waiting for reunion. The poet wants to meet his beloved but like rain that erases from our view all that is solid she recedes into the twilight. It's a remarkable and haunting poem strewn with stunning imagery and intense in its appeal. In depicting the 'lost-ness' of man Neruda's poem stares at the hole in the heart and at the crack in the foundation of our being. The video leaves us with memorable visuals and music score. The rendition is laudable. One of the best videos in the ongoing series.
