Hardcover. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Three mezzotints by Judith Rothchild plus a bonus print. "Neruda's text is accompanied with three mezzotints by Judith Rothchild. While the text presentation is sparse and clean the images are velvety and dense. They capture the essence of Neruda's words - "from bristly foliage" to "only a seed". From bristly foliage you fell complete, polished wood, gleaming mahogany, . You fell, you struck the ground, but nothing happened, . Because you are only a seed, chestnut tree, autumn, earth, water, heights, silence prepared the germ, the floury density, the maternal eyelids that buried will again open toward the heights ."
