‘your laughter’ was published as part of a collection of poetry by neruda entitled the captain’s verses, which was published in the year 1972. this shows that ‘your laughter’ was one of neruda’s late poems. this is why he is able to look back at his life and examine all the struggles he has been through. he had lost his mother at the tender age of two months, been through two divorces, and lost his first child when she was just eight years old. as a communist, he had had to escape from his motherland and live in exile for several years. through all this, he had endured simply because of love. it was not necessarily the love of one woman that had kept up his strength, but the love of an ideal woman who he addresses this poem too. it can be argued that this ideal woman is an amalgamation of all the women whom he had known and loved in his life.

neruda chooses to use a metaphor and intertwines symbolism into his poem. the metaphor he uses is, " laughter must raise its foamy " because it is comparing the someone laughing to the foamy cascades. the reason the metaphor adds to the meaning of the poem because foamy cascades are beautiful and raising your laughter to beauty and life is something he tries to show the reader throughout the poem.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
