The poem "Keeping Quiet" by Pablo Neruda advocates for stillness and quiet introspection. It suggests that those involved in war would find peace if they changed their ways and cleansed themselves of violence. Through metaphor, the poem compares apparent stillness in nature to the possibility of new life and understanding through quiet reflection. The poet invites the reader to count to twelve and be still in order to overcome the sadness of a busy life without self-knowledge.
