Comments on: “Enigmas” by Pablo Neruda http://litinperformance.umwblogs.org/2009/07/01/37/ Just another UMW Blogs weblog Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:14:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Aisley http://litinperformance.umwblogs.org/2009/07/01/37/comment-page-1/#comment-113 Aisley Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:28:17 +0000 http://litinperformance.umwblogs.org/?p=37#comment-113 This poem is one of the best I have ever heard. With that being said, the one that really moves me in this movie is the one Thomas recites at the end. It goes: "You're the woman, I the man..." I have look for it, but can't find any information on it. It doesn't seem to be part of "Enigmas". Does anybody has information on it? Or even recognizes it as the style of an especific Poet? Thanks for any info you can send This poem is one of the best I have ever heard. With that being said, the one that really moves me in this movie is the one Thomas recites at the end.

The poem to me, is a message to scientists and philosophers who try to analyze the world and understand it's meaning. It's somewhat "Heideggerian" message, in that it seems to say that the world is infinite, and that analysis of the world with the intent of understanding destroys the wonder and utterly reduces the infinite to nothing. I find it interesting, especially since I once wanted to be a physics major, that the discipline of English, which is often considered to be subjective, can inform disciplines that shape the way we think about reality.
