The Postman

I just heard of the bride from Il Postino referred to as "a classical figure of femininity." What is this "El Postino" I wondered? It looks like an artistic and endearing movie I need to see!

And, as one thing leads to another, the trailer made me wonder about the poet Pablo Neruda. I've learned he was a Chilean poet, known most for his highly romantic verses. They ranged from surreal to historic, and he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1971 ~ the year I was born! He always wrote in green ink, to symbolize hope.

I noticed even an excerpt of one of his poems is "trending" today.

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”

― Pablo Neruda

Indeed.
