註釋"Published one year before Pablo Neruda was named recipient of the 1971 Nobel Prize in Literature, Stones of the Sky presents the mature poet of sensuous detail and personal reflection in a suite of thirty love songs to the earth. Neruda observes eternal metamorphosis at work in stone; he addresses crystals, precious and semi-precious stones, and common rock formations as though they contain the secrets of mortality. The permanence of stone in the ragged Chilean landscape becomes the emblem of spiritual transformation contrasted with temporal humanity. With Stones of the Sky, Neruda achieves a reconciliation between spirituality and the apparently senseless materialism which haunted his Residence on Earth. He arrives at a grand simplicity, the voice of the poems intimate and meditative, flowing like calm water. For this fourth volume in the Copper Canyon Press Neruda series, James Nolan has listened very closely, creating an American English equivalent faithful not only to the clarity and meaning, but also to the lyrical qualities of the original Spanish, which is presented en face." --
