Now we will count to twelve and we will all keep still.
''Now we will count to twelve
and we will all keep still.
For once on the face of the earth,
let’s not speak in any language;
let’s stop for one second,
and not move our arms so much. .................................................. Perhaps the earth can teach us
as when everything seems dead
and later proves to be alive. Now I’ll count up to twelve
and you keep quiet and I will go.'' ~Pablo Neruda
