I feel exactly the same as you do when it comes to this poem, and poetry in general! I do remember you mentioning the idea of "eight to four or nine to five", and it being about the work day, which I did not catch at first, but after hearing you say it, it made a lot of sense to me. I like the idea of Neruda inspiring people to do more in a day then just attend their boring jobs and drag their feet because they hate going to work every day and being stuck in the same routine.
I also think it would be really neat to see the ruins of Macchu Picchu in person. I think after taking this class we can really appreciate it more than if we had actually went to the ruins before we took the class. There are a lot of things I have learned about Macchu Picchu I never knew until this year.
