Extended information:
Pablo Neruda’s poetry not only inherits the tradition of Spanish national poetry, but also accepts the influence of French modernist poetry such as Baudelaire; It not only absorbed the characteristics of Chilean national poetry, but also found its favorite form from the creation of Walt Whitman. His early collection of love poems, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Desperation, is considered one of his most famous works.
The content of "I Like You Are Silent" directly expresses the poet's love for the silence and tranquility of his lover, but in the end it reveals the poet's desire to break this silence: even a word or a look can make the poet I know you are not really dead, or let me know you love me so that I will be happy. Therefore, this poem not only expresses the poet's love, but also expresses the poet's desire to get a response from his lover.
