How I Imagine Pablo Neruda Would Celebrate My Birthday...
I'm celebrating a birthday today and have Pablo Neruda on my mind.

I found this great image of Pablo Neruda while searching through the archives of old LIFE magazines.
It's one of my favorite things I've seen in a long time.
I think if I were having a birthday party in my dreams, this is how Pablo would dress.

In my dreams, Neruda still visits. And in my birthday party dream, Emily always arrives with a gift.
Happy Birthday! May Emily Dickinson still arrive with many surprises, all good, for you this year.

Love it, Happy Birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteHBTY!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite photos of Neruda, which I wasn't able to find online with a Google Image search, is of him standing holding an enormous seashell, a conch shell or something similar, in his arms. The shell is the size of a cello. The photo, if I remember right, is by Jill Krementz.
Happy Birthday, Kelli! What great images you've collected here. May the coming year be full of surprise, intrigue, and celebration.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Just stumbled across your blog and have already subscribed. I hope at one of your future birthday parties Emily Dickinson jumps out of the cake.
