Tupac Amaru, besiegte Sonne,
Aus deinem zertrümmerten Ruhm
Steigt wie vom Meer die Sonne
Ein verschwundenes Licht empor.
Die niedrigen Dörfer lehmiger Erden,
Die aufgegebenen Webstühle,
Die nassen Häuser aus Sand,
Sie sagen Tupac, und Tupac ist
Ein Samenkorn,
Sie sagen im stillen: Tupac,
Und Tupac bewahrt sich in der Ackerfurche,
Sie sagen im stillen: Tupac,
Und Tupac keimt in der Erde.
Pablo Neruda: Tupac Amaru, letzte Strophe, aus: Der GG
Today in Labor History April 6, 1781: Tupac Amaru II was captured in Peru after being denounced by a turncoat. He led a large Andean uprising against the Spanish in Peru. As a result, he became a hero in the Peruvian struggle for independence and the indigenous rights movement. The Tupamaros revolutionary movement in Uruguay (1960s-1970s) took their name from him. As did the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary guerrilla group, in Peru, and the Venezuelan Marxist political party Tupamaro. The American rapper, Tupac Amaru Shakur, was also named after Tupac Amaru II. Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, wrote a poem called “Tupac Amaru (1781).” And Clive Cussler’s book, “Inca Gold,” has a villain who claims to be descended from the revolutionary leader.

This poem breaks my heart all over again every time I read it. C/w violence mentioned.
From "Testimony" by Rebecca Baggett:
"I want to say, like Neruda,
that I am waiting for
"a great and common tenderness,"
that I still believe
we are capable of attention,
that anyone who notices the world
must want to save it."

Heute ist #WelttagDerPoesie, ausgerufen seit 1999 von der #UNESCO. Was wäre an diesem Tag und in meinem Alter passender als ein Auszug aus dem Gedicht von #PabloNeruda mit dem Titel #DasAndereSchloss
"Nein, ich bin nicht der Feurige,
ich bestehe aus Kleidern, Rheumatismus,
zerrissenen Papieren, vergessenen Zitaten,
armseligem Höhlengekritzel auf etwas,
was einmal stolze Steine waren."

"Keeping Quiet" by Pablo Neruda
Now we will count to twelve
and we will all keep still.
For once on the face of the earth,
let's not speak in any language;
let's stop for one second,
and not move our arms so much.
It would be an exotic moment
without rush, without engines;
we would all be together
in a sudden strangeness.
Fisherman in the cold sea
would not harm whales
and the man gathering salt
would look at his hurt hands.
Those who prepare green wars,
wars with gas, wars with fire,
victories with no survivors,
would put on clean clothes
and walk about with their brothers
in the shade, doing nothing.
What I want should not be confused
with total inactivity.
Life is what it is about;
I want no truck with death.
If we were not so single-minded
about keeping our lives moving,
and for once could do nothing,
perhaps a huge silence
might interrupt this sadness
of never understanding ourselves
and of threatening ourselves with death.
Perhaps the earth can teach us
as when everything seems dead
and later proves to be alive.
Now I'll count up to twelve
and you keep quiet and I will go.
—from Extravagaria (translated by Alastair Reid, pp. 27-29, 1974)
Con respecto al gobierno genocida israelí:
Pablo Neruda
"Los enemigos"
Ellos aquí trajeron los fusiles repletos
de pólvora, ellos mandaron el acerbo
exterminio,
ellos aquí encontraron un pueblo que cantaba,
un pueblo por deber y por amor reunido,
y la delgada niña cayó con su bandera,
y el joven sonriente rodó a su lado herido,
y el estupor del pueblo vio caer a los muertos
con furia y con dolor.
Entonces, en el sitio
donde cayeron los asesinados,
bajaron las banderas a empaparse de sangre
para alzarse de nuevo frente a los asesinos.
Por esos muertos, nuestros muertos,
pido castigo.
Para los que de sangre salpicaron la patria,
pido castigo.
Para el verdugo que mandó esta muerte,
pido castigo.
Para el traidor que ascendió sobre el crimen,
pido castigo.
Para el que dio la orden de agonía,
pido castigo.
Para los que defendieron este crimen,
pido castigo.
No quiero que me den la mano
empapada con nuestra sangre.
Pido castigo.
No los quiero de embajadores,
tampoco en su casa tranquilos,
los quiero ver aquí juzgados
en esta plaza, en este sitio.
Quiero castigo.
Today in Labor History October 19, 1944: A coup was launched against dictator Juan Federico Ponce Vaides, beginning the ten-year Guatemalan Revolution, which led to the rise of democratically elected President Jacobo Árbenz, and the only years that representative democracy existed in Guatemala from 1930 until the end of the civil war in 1996. Arbenz won the presidency in 1950, promising to transform the nation from a feudal economy into a modern, capitalist state. He led the implementation of social, political and agrarian reforms that were influential across Latin America. However, the reform that most angered the wealthy elite, and the leaders of United Fruit, were his agrarian reform policies, including the immediate transfer of all uncultivated land from large landowners to their poverty-stricken laborers.
United Fruit was the largest corporation operating in Guatemala. They controlled vast territories and transportation networks throughout Central America, Colombia, and the West Indies, and maintained a virtual monopoly in the so-called banana republics of Costa Rica, Honduras, and Guatemala. At the bequest of United Fruit, CIA-director Allan Dulles, who was also a board member of United Fruit, orchestrated a coup that overthrew Arbenz in 1954, leading to decades of genocide against the Indigenous Peoples of Guatemala, as well as the torture and murder of thousands of Communists, Socialists, labor leaders, clergy and activists. In the 1980s, United Fruit officially became Chiquita. Their violence and corruption were described in the works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Thomas Pynchon, O. Henry, and Pablo Neruda.

Do you have an nickname/alias you use here, @_9CL7T9k8cjnD_ ?
I am deeply impressed, though the poem is not all too cryptic for those people with a heart, it seems to be accessible for a nascent AGI, despite neither having one or conscious thoughts.
There are some small interpretational errors in block 1 and 4, however overall, I am deeply impressed by #ChatGPT4o .
Let's try another language w/o translation by a real master of poetry, #PabloNeruda

Today in Writing History July 12, 1904: Pablo Neruda, Chilean poet, diplomat, and Nobel Prize laureate was born. He started writing poetry in his early teens and was mentored by future Nobel laureate Gabriela Mistral, who ran his school. In 1924, at the age of 20, he published his second book of poetry, “Veinte Poemas de Amor y un Cancion Desesperada.” This book sold millions of copies and is still the best-selling book of Spanish poetry ever. Gabriel Garcia Marquez called him the greatest poet of the 20th century.
Neruda served as a Chilean diplomat in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, where he became radicalized, particularly by the execution of his friend Garcia Lorca, by Francisco Franco. After World War II, he served as a Chilean senator for the Communist Party, but had to go into hiding in 1948, when Communism was declared illegal in Chile. Neruda was hospitalized with cancer just as Pinochet was taking power through a coup d’etat and died in 1973. Many accused Pinochet of poisoning him, but a 2013 international forensic team determined that he died of prostate cancer.

Immer wieder mit Sehnsucht erinnere ich mich an den Besuch seiner beiden Villen in Chile zurück. Sein Bett im Anwesen von Isla Negra etwa, von dem man aus direkt aufs Meer blicken kann!
Hier ein schöner Text von 2014 aus den #Marginalien

Visited the house of #PabloNeruda (the #poet) in #santiago. Watched a little video of his life. Hm. He died in 1973, right after the military coup, and the video didn't say how he died. Checked #wikipedia later. I still don't know how he died, but damn. Interesting, weird story.
Déjate inspirar por el maravilloso universo poético de Pablo Neruda.

en las líneas de soledad

lentamente, desde le orgullo.” [...] Seguir leyendo en: https://tinyurl.com/2cv7bn6e
