I learned about life
from life itself,
love I learned in a single kiss
and could teach no one anything
except that I have lived
with something in common among men,
when fighting with them,
when saying all their say in my song.
Pablo Neruda (July 12, 1904–September 23, 1973) in “Ode to the Book,” found in Selected Poems
Song: “Chetan Jeevan (Conscious Life)” by Nitin Sawhney
