FROM THE BOOK OF QUESTIONS












III

TELL ME,IS THE ROSE NAKED
OR IS THAT HER ONLY DRESS?

WHY DO TREES CONCEAL
THE SPLENDOR OF THEIR ROOTS?

WHO HEARS THE REGRETS
OF THE THIEVING AUTOMOVILE?

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD SADDER
THAN A TRAIN STANDING IN THE RAIN?

PABLO NERUDA,CHILEAN POET.

A beautiful poem... I must read some Pablo Neruda. It is a shame, but I don't know his work.

The photo is beautiful too; is it made my you?
