Description:
Poem "If You Forget Me" by Pablo Neruda, read by Madonna. A tribute to the Poet. The lovely lady in the photograph is Clara Bow from the movie Wings. If You Forget MeI want you to knowone thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine. Pablo Neruda

Nov 15, 2011 - The Nobel* Prize, for one, is awarded by Westerners. Aside from this, Chile was in political turmoil for decades, oppressing its people, while the US was in a state of rapid growth. In other words, your comparison is total shit.

Dec 20, 2011 - I often don't like to have poetry to read out loud.But, my god, Madonna does a wonderful job of reading this.This makes me think much of a relastionship I had or have.One wonders about a 'ghost' still lingering there in the feeling of what was once before.Then theres the realization that for the moment you can't do anything about it.It's a beautiful helplessness. You don't feel sad or depressed, just lifted in a way.You have heart.Best I can describeBut, yeah, Pablo hit that spot on.
