Overview

"Oh son, do you know, do you know where you come from? From a lake with white and hungry seagulls. [...] That's how you came into the world. From so many places you come, from water and earth, from fire and snow, from so far away you walk, towards both of us, from the terrible love that has chained us, that we want to know how you are, what you tell us, because you know more about the world we gave you." - The Captain's Verses (1952), Pablo Neruda.
