Neruda’s Timekeeper Revisited | Ricardo Blanco's Blog
https://richardgwyn.me/2015/05/04/nerudas-timekeeper-revisited
Reflections on the mutable universe. Ricardo Blanco's Blog. Neruda’s Timekeeper Revisited. To Don Asterio Alarcón, timekeeper of Valparaíso. Valparaíso has the smell. Of a crazy port,.

And the sea sun salutes the banners. While the white clothes wave. The sailors a poor farewell. Sea streets, windy streets. Alleys that sing upward.
