Explore "Celebration" by Pablo Neruda on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Let us put on our shoes, the pin-striped shirt, the blue suit though it shines from long wear, let us light the flares and set off fireworks, let the wine and beer flow from our necks to our toes, because duly we must celebrate this immense number that cost so much time, so many years and days in bundles, so many hours, so many millions of minutes: let us celebrate this inauguration.
Let us uncork all our bottled up happiness and seek out some lost sweetheart who accepts a festive nibble.
