"Preguntaréis ¿por qué su poesía no nos habla del sueño, de las hojas, de los grandes volcanes de su país natal?'Venid a ver la sangre por las calles, venid a ver la sangre por las calles, venid a ver la sangre por las calles!"
— Pablo Neruda

January 1, 1970

Alternate translation by Donald D. Walsh: You will ask: why does your poetry not speak to us of sleep, of the leaves, of the great volcanoes of your native land?Come and se the blood in the streets, come and see the blood in the streets, come and see the blood in the streets!
