[PW] Poem by Pablo Neruda

[John P. Dyson]

Not a beginning, but it sounds very much like the fourth line of 
Neruda's "Poema 20" from _Veinte poemas de amor y una canción 
desesperada_ (Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair): "El viento de 
la noche gira en el cielo y canta." (The night wind whirls in the sky 
and sings.)
