In the following stanza, what message is the great poet, Pablo Neruda, trying to convey?
Ode to Maize
America, from a grain
of maize you grew
to crown
with spacious lands
the ocean foam.
A grain of maize was your geography.
From the grain
a green lance rose,
was covered with gold,
to grace the heights
of Peru with its yellow tassels.
Peru’s wealth led it to great heights
Geography and oceans have led South America to greatness
From small beginnings, South America grew to greatness because of maize
Ocean foam and yellow tassels dot the countryside of Peru
