Also, he had a big picture of Withman in the house´s fifth floor, Neruda even made him a poem.]]> 2017-06-19 12:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ale_silva_f31/tm4yt62m8c01/wish/176852376 ale_silva_f31 https://padlet.com/ale_silva_f31/tm4yt62m8c01/wish/176852405 The view from The Sebastiana was wonderful, i could see almost all Valparaiso´s places, i was feeling very amazed there, especially when i saw at the beatiful coast. The thing that Pablo Neruda most enjoyed was the view of the sea, wich inspired him to write his poems, a clear example is “Oda a Valparaiso”. He had been spending a great part of his days writing in his study until his death in 1973. ]]> 2017-06-19 12:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ale_silva_f31/tm4yt62m8c01/wish/176852405 ale_silva_f31 https://padlet.com/ale_silva_f31/tm4yt62m8c01/wish/176852550 The study was on the house´s fifth floor, there he met with friends and had a great variety of books in different languages, although most of them were his already published poems. The great attraction was the map of the world on the wall and the desk where Neruda had sat down to write his poems over looking the port he loved so much.]]> 2017-06-19 12:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ale_silva_f31/tm4yt62m8c01/wish/176852550 ale_silva_f31 https://padlet.com/ale_silva_f31/tm4yt62m8c01/wish/177163078 This is a photo with my companions in the house of Neruda.
Thanks to this trip we learned much more about Neruda's life.
It was a very nice experience.]]> 2017-06-22 04:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ale_silva_f31/tm4yt62m8c01/wish/177163078 ale_silva_f31 https://padlet.com/ale_silva_f31/tm4yt62m8c01/wish/177163612 Not 
disdaining 
the gifts

initial 
of wisdom, 
you taught me

you raised 
my eyes

towards 
the treasure

broad,

you made me see 
the high
