[00:00:00]Sonnet 28 by Pablo Neruda.

[00:00:05]Love from seed to seed, from planet to planet, the wind with its net through the darkening nations, war with its bloody shoes, or even the day with a thorny night.

[00:00:21]Wherever we went, islands or bridges or flags, there were the violins of the fleeting autumn, bullet-laced, happiness echoing at the rim of the wine glass, sorrow detaining us with its lesson of tears.

[00:00:41]Through all those republics, the wind whipped its arrogant pavilions, its glacial hair.

[00:00:50]It would return the flowers later to their work.

[00:00:55]But no withering autumn ever touched us.

[00:00:58]In our stable place, a love sprouted, grew as rightfully empowered as the dew.
