About This Quote

In the poem “When the Star Dies,” by Pablo Neruda, the star is an analogy for life. The star represents all that is beautiful. When the star dies, its eye closes; tired of watching, it flies back to its first bright dream. Life also ends, but it is not the end.

Neruda described life as a journey, and when we die it’s like watching something fly by you. You can see it all happen, but you cannot stop it.
