In 1935 Pablo Neruda wrote:
"It is useful at certain hours of the day and night to look closely at the world of objects at rest: wheels that have crossed long, dusty spaces with their huge vegetal and mineral burdens, bags of coal from the coal bins, barrels, baskets, handles and hafts in a carpenter's tool chest. From them flow the contacts of man with earth, like an object lesson for all troubled lyricists. The used surfaces of things, the wear that hands have given to things, the air, tragic at times, pathetic at others, of such things -- all lend a curious attractiveness to reality that we should not underestimate."
