Chronos Comments

There is much too much time.

This is a beautiful poem......

Long back 42years back I read his poems still it is fresh as garden tomato

Original Spanish text: ________________ CRONOS En Santiago de Chile Los días son interminablemente largos: Varias eternidades en un día. Nos desplazamos a lomo de luma Como los vendedores de cochayuyo: Se bosteza. Se vuelve a bostezar. Sin embargo las semanas son cortas Los meses pasan a toda carrera Ylosañosparecequevolaran.

Ì`m chilean and, reading this I get the feeling that Parra's work hasn't been showned to reforce the value it does have. I suggest a revision of his work and the translation of some of his wooks, or at least one, 'Poemas y Antopoemas', as a whole so the searcher gets a notion of his stetic, value and ruptures wuithin the time of the publications. He is our Ezra Pound.
