KEEPING
QUIET INTRODUCTION
In
this modern world where life moves at a very fast pace we have become very
selfish and are lest concerned about the other human or nature. We move ahead
single mindedly and live a life full of strifes and destructions without
understanding other humans. Pablo Neruda in understanding, love and respect among human beings.
Justification
of Title
The title “Keeping Quiet” emphasizes
the necessity of quiet introspection and creating a feeling of mutual
understanding among human beings. It conveys Neruda’s philosophy of an exotic
moment of silence and inactivity which can an antidote to war, violence,
hatred, exploitation and turmoil. By keeping quiet, mankind can try to
understand itself and stop harming itself with death and destruction. Thus, the
title is very appropriate.
Keeping Quiet by Pablo Neruda
SUMMARY
The poet, Neruda,
basically questions the way we move through our lives without pausing or caring
for the world around us or the suffering of nature, the world and other people.
He exhorts the reader to stay still and count till twelve, pause and look at
the world around. He also asks us to think about what we see, how we can bring
about change in things that are wrong, stop fighting "green wars" and
be friendly to each other and nature for a change.
