For me it is necessary to have opinions but I agree that one doesn´t observe nature enough.

Error is boundless.
Nor hope nor doubt,
Though both be groundless,
Will average out."..........................lol! I'll research too a bit later.

"Lost in the forest, I broke off a dark twig" - Pablo Neruda; The White Mans Burden... https://allpoetry.com/The-White-Mans-Burden
Picture-Lol! George I looks exacly like one would expect him to look.
Beautiful poem by Pablo Neruda. Perhaps a moment or feeling of exile.
Video of Neruda´s house, one of the two I visited. When I was there in the 80ties or nineties, there wasn´t any street art as yet and the house was preserved as he left it , but not turned into a museum. I remember mostly the staircase that united first and second floor, Santiago being very mountainous and a second very small and discreet exit door, very useful in those political times.
