Pablo Neruda’s Death: 


An Interview with Matilde Urrutia 


An Excerpt from the forthcoming book, Pablo 
Neruda: An Introduction To His Life and Poetry by 
Salvatore Bizzarro. Transcribed and translated by 


Suzanne Oboler. 


The following interview with Dona Matilde Urrutia came about unexpectedly the day 
before I left Chile, through a mutual friend—‘‘Queta’’, Pablo Neruda’ s photographer and 
long-time friend. We had met many times at Delia del Carril’s house, (Pablo's second 
wife); and one night, Queta suggested that I get in touch with Matilde. The interview was 
arranged and took place on June 19, 1975 in her home in Santiago. 

Houses in Latin America, unlike those in the United States, are, for the most part, 
enclosed behind high walls, each home’ s wall running into the next, concealing the shapes 
of the actual houses within, masking the lives of those who inhabit them. Neruda’ s house is 
on a small street on the slope of San Cristobal hill, and as I stood at the doorstep waiting to 
be let in to see his widow, I couldn’ t help but wonder what lay behind the dismal grey wall, 
how much had been changed in the reconstruction of this house which had been destroyed 
almost in its entirety, during the first days after the 1973 coup. 

1 was led from the entrance through a multi-coloured labyrinth of purple, yellow and red 
walls, up a stairway to an open-air patio on the second level, over the wooden foot bridge 
which crossed a small stream trickling its way through from the hill, and finally, up a 
second stair leading into the living room. Matilde welcomed me graciously, though her 
attitude evinced the similar, withdrawn air of reserve and mystery I had experienced a few 
minutes before on the street. The bottle of whiskey I had brought her helped her to break the 
ice because its rarity in Chile, especially since the change of government, is a well- 
established fact. 

In all, I spent four hours with this perceptive, intelligent but extremely moody woman 
who, for 21 years, had been wife, companion and friend to Latin America’s Nobel Prize 
winner. Her initial response to the idea of a taped interview was skeptical which, given the 
strict censorship and political restrictions of the Chilean citizens today, is more than 


‘understandable. Consequently, we spent the first hour becoming better acquainted with one 
another, discussing my plans for the book on her husband, and talking about Pablo's 


literary work. At one point, I asked her which of his books he had preferred, and her 
answer was at first, non-commital: ‘‘I have heard this question asked to Pablo many times. 

, She admitted that her own favorite was Los Versos del Capitan, which he had 
to her. At the time he wrote this book, because he was still living with Delia and 


eee want to hurt her, he released it for publication anonymously. It was only later on 


at he admitted being the Captain, thus acknowledging his authorship of the book. 


fey We discussed their first meeting in 1952, in a cabaret in Mexico where she had been 
__ performing as a singer. I asked her if she had any Photographs of Pablo at hand. She shook 


her head, and then pointing to her portrait by Diego Rivera, hanging over the fireplace, she 
asked: “Do you see Pablo?’’ I looked at the double profile of her on the wall, and had to 
admit I did not. She went up to the fireplace, poked the burning cackling wood, and pointed 
to her hair in the painting. Pablo's face suddenly appeared before my eyes, clearly 
delineated, expressive, as if to imply that he would always be present somewhere, every- 
where. She showed me his handwritten poems framed on the walls, and then sat down again 
and said, quietly: ‘‘I will not answer any questions in any way related to politics . . .”’ but 
she left the subject ambiguously open, because almost immediately, she added: ‘‘However, 
if you do ask me anything political, I will answer it in the way I know Pablo would have 
answered.’’ We settled comfortably into our chairs, and the interview began: 


S.B. We have been talking about Pablo And meanwhile, we were so far away, 


Neruda, and his literary work. And now, 
the question I would like to ask you, Dona 
Matilde is: How did Pablo Neruda spend 
his last days? Let's say from September 
11th to September 23rd, when he died? 

M.U. Well, this is perhaps the most 
difficult question to answer, but I'll try. I 
didn’t know, nor did anyone. else, that 
Pablo was dying. Pablo had°his illness 
completely under control. He told me that 
the doctor had said Pablo had at least six 
years to live, because of his strong con- 
stitution and his will to live. 

On September 11th, Pablo and I were 
alone on the island, like any other day. 
We always had breakfast early—our days 
began at 7:30. We were listening to the 
news on the radio, when suddenly it was 
interrupted by an announcement saying 
that Salvador [Allende] was going to 
speak. That really surprised us because it 
was so early. How could Salvador speak at 
that hour? Anyway, we listened to his 
speech—you must have read it. We were 
so shocked emotionally, that we were both 
‘silent for a long time after. We didn’t 
know what to think. Then came all the 
contradictory decrees which said that no 
one could leave their homes, and the radio 
kept broadcasting up-to-the-minute re- 


' ports saying, too that we were all going 


to be visited by the junta’s emissaries. 


so completely alone on the island. 

After lunch, we saw the news report on 
La Moneda on the television. We watch- 
ed it three or four times. I received a 
telephone call from the doctor telling me 
that we had to keep the news away from 
Pablo. *‘Doctor,”’ I replied, ‘‘how do you 
expect me to hide the news from Pablo 
when at this very moment, he is in the 
bedroom watching the television, and has 
been listening to the radio all day? I can’t 
prevent him from doing it;’’ and the 
doctor said, ‘“This is going to be very 
harmful for Pablo. You must do what 
you can and at all costs, keep the news 
away from him. It’s very important that 
you do so.”’ 

That day, Pablo was very affected by 
everything going on.;I had never seen him 
like that. As I mentioned before, Pablo 
could have lived for many years, but after 
all, he was sick so everything affected his 
health a great deal more than it would 
someone who is in excellent physical con- 
dition. 

These news reports put him in a very 
feverish state that night, and because no 
one was allowed out of their homes, I 
couldn’t bring a nurse to him to give him 
an injection. I couldn’t do anything. We 
were completely isolated with no 
medicine, without a doctor, with nothing.

I called the doctor and told him I wanted 
to bring Pablo to Santiago. He answered 
that it was impossible: ‘‘No one can move 
right now, no car can go to fetch him; we 
cannot do anything.’ We could not go to 
Santiago. 

Two or three days after the coup, the 
junta’s emissaries called on us. A great 
number of military men came. I knew how 
to receive them, so that when I found out 
they were coming to search the estate; I 
asked them where they wanted to begin 
and told them they were welcome to come 
and go as they pleased. I took them di- 
rectly to Pablo’s bedroom. It was early in 
the morning, about ten or ten-thirty, and 
Pablo was not yet dressed. He was very 
depressed and very weak, as if someone 
had given him a terrible blow. He greeted 
them, offered everyone a drink, and told 
them to go wherever they pleased: ‘‘Do 
whatever you have to do. You're not going 
to find anything at all in this bedroom.”’ 

They were very kind. They didn’t want 
to search the bedroom: they didn’t want to 
disturb him, and actually, their visit to the 
island was very courteous. They looked 
around the entire house but they didn’t 
take anything, not even a book. All in all, 
nothing happened. 

I spoke to the doctor again and insisted 
that I could not take care of Pablo alone 
any longer, because he was now running a 


very high temperature. He was ina terrible 
physical state. We had managed to get 
permission for a nurse to come give him a 
few injections the doctor had prescribed. 

On September 19, I was finally able to 
get an ambulance to come to take him to 
Santiago. He was almost dead. We had to 
pass through a road block where they were 
checking all the cars coming from the Is- 
land to Santiago. Still in the car, I said to 
the guards: ‘‘Pablo Neruda is in here, and 
is very ill’’. They heard the name, Pablo 
Neruda, as if they'd been told it was rain- 
ing. They ordered me out of the car and 
searched it thoroughly, going through the 
clothes and blankets, through everything 
we had in it, looking underneath it, every- 
where. It was horrible. 

When I got back into the car, I was 
crying. I have always tried to be brave 
when these things happen, but I was terri- 
bly affected by this. We continued on our 
way and finally arrived at the hospital. 
There, the doctor told me, ‘*Pablo is in a 
very bad way. We must call a car- 
diologist.’’ Pablo had never had anything 
wrong with him. A few circulation prob- 
lems, perhaps, but his heart had always 
been health. The cardiologist came, ex- 
amined him, prescribed a few things and 
left. It was a time when the doctors would 
run in and out, scared, distraught, they

Louis Schweitzer 


A little over 16 years ago, on January 9, 1960, WBAI was formally 
turned over to the Pacifica Foundation by the late Louis Schweitzer. Lou 
decided to give WBAI to Pacifica when his dream of a high-quality, fine 
arts/public affairs radio station threatened to become a commercial suc- 
cess (with too many commercials) in the wake of the 1959 newspaper 
strike. WBAI/Pacifica began broadcasting at 8 a.m., January 10, 1960. 

Lou Schweitzer was a large, warm, grandfatherly man, who loved to 
tell stories, and who was endowed with the unusual combination of 
tolerance, compassion, generosity, modesty, and money. A rarity among 
philanthropists, he used his money to palpably improve the lives of vastly 
different minorities: the accused (through fhe Vera Institute), and the 
accusing (through WBAI). Whimsical and epicurean, he took unabashed 
pleasure in his ownership of a barbershop, a taxicab, and a Venetian 
gondola, each acquired so that he wouldn’t have to wait to get a haircut or 
a cab or a gondola. (The New York City cab had a sign in its rear window 
which advised, ‘‘When in Venice, see Bruno.’’) He was my friend and I 
loved him as I did my own grandfather. 

Lou’s relationship with the station was occasionally stormy. Only 


once—when Chris Koch went to North Vietnam—did Lou Sthat here 
there 


the station’s complex internal politics. In retrospect, it seems that 

were no clear cut heroes or villains in that affaire. Lou got burned, and, tT 
think, learned a lesson. Never again did he interfere—even on occasions 
when someone less principled would have been sorely tempted. _ 

During the infamous /’ affaire du poéme, Lou withstood nearly intoler- 
able heat from his peers in the Jewish community. Although he found that 
broadcast thoroughly noxious, he strongly defended WBAI’s Constitu- 
tional right to air it. A true civil libertarian he was. 

Lou had doubts that his gift-child of a radio station would survive under 
listener-sponsorship. (He nurtured us long after we were supposed to be 
weaned.) But WBAI-Pacifica did more than just survive. It grew by a 
factor of three to become an important voice of dissent, culture, and 
alternative information in a city already suffering from information over- 
load. I think Lou would be proud of the station he created, and as 
amazed as anyone at its 16-year survival against all the rules of Ameri- 
can mediabusiness. 

To Lou, we owe everlasting thanks for the gift of the station. To the 
thousands of staff and volunteers who have worked here, and to our 
Board members, we deeply appreciate the selfless devotion and sacrifice 
you’ve given. And to you, our listener-sponsors, thank you for in-~ 
suring our survival. Your faith and your dollars have made the impos- 
sible possible. 

As we enter the 17th year of Pacifica Radio in New York, we pledge to 
continue to uphold the highest standards of quality, honesty, and open- 
ness. May we all survive to celebrate BAI’s 20th Anniversary. 


With Love, 


Larry Josephson 
Station Manager

6:00 PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENTS | 


The New York State Council on the Arts, through its Architecture and 
Environment program, has funded WBAI for ten Community Meetings On the 
Air. These 90 minute programs will explore in depth controversial issues of 
urban planning and design, with the on-air participation of professionals, 
journalists and grass roots leadership. The broadcasts will be live with tele- 
phone call in hook ups. 

The series will be produced by Gloria Trachtenberg and Courtney Callen- 
der. Ms. Trachtenberg holds a masters degree in planning from NYU, and 
years of experience as head of Community Projects for the (soon to be defunct) 
Administration of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs (PRCA). Her job 
was to pull together exactly this kind of interaction in communities throughout 
New York City concerning new and renovated recreation spaces, indoor and 
out. Courtney Callender was her predecessor in the same job. Thanks to Tom 
Hoving and August Heckscher, they were able to create the meat 
together, where none had existed before. 

During the heyday of the Lindsay administration, the by-word for holding 
an appointed position in city government was to be hip, liberal and charismatic. 
Like everyone else, Gloria and Courtney divided their fifteen hour days equally 
between turning back angry mobs in East New York, black tie parties and petty 
politics behind the scenes at PRCA. It seemed, at the time, the only way to get 
anything done, indeed the only way to live. Now, if pressed, both would admit 
that there was a great deal of hokus pokus as well as razzamatazz. Though they 
are justifiably more cynical and cautious these days, they also admit that they 
would not have missed the experience even if Moses (Robert) himself had 
promised them a thru-way or a soccer stadium named after them. 

The legacy of this era is that while no one was looking, plain old everyday 
people became articulate and partisan about how their neighborhoods were 
being planned. Formerly, only adamant and affluent groups such as those in 
Greenwich Village or the East Side gold coast could ever exercise any influ- 
ence on important neighborhood decisions. The Villagers, for instance, kept 
Robert Moses from putting a highway through Washington Square Park, and 
the East Siders helped make Rupert Brewery into something besides just 
another anonymous highrise. 

But what about Chelsea-Clinton with its issues of Convention Center and 
Time Square clean ups? And whatever happened to the upgrading of the lower 
Concourse? What’s going on in Jamaica, Queens? These and other current 
projects will be the subject of the Community Meetings On the Air. 

Four or five of these broadcasts will be held just prior to the infamous capital 
budget hearings, during which the public is ostensibly given the opportunity to 
go before elected officials and advocate or denounce major projects. In such an 
atmosphere the broadcasts are expected to be controversial and perhaps news 
making, though given the City’s current budget crisis, they may only amount to 
tempests in an empty teapot. 

Watch the Folio and newspapers for listings.

WBAI’s 16th ANNIVERSARY 


Today, in modest fashion, we celebrate the 16th anniversary of WBAI. One need not be 
concerned about the fact that our 16th anniversary was last month—as usual, we are running 


somewhat behind schedule. 


Obviously, it would be impossible in one day to broadcast even a substantial portion of 
“The Best Of’? WBAI, or to chronicle the history of these past 16 years as presented 


through our electronic mouth. 


What we have attempted to do is to choose a cross-section of programs to which you, the 
listeners, have responded with enthusiasm and, of course, your life-sustaining support. And 
we have also chosen with a view toward presenting at least a fragmented history of those 
times. The difficulty of this task is illustrated at right by a partial list of the programs from 


which we had to select one day’s worth. 


All of the programs to be presented today were produced through 1973, an arbitrary 


cut-off date. 
WBAI’s 


Grand Old Man(and Station Manager) Larry Josephson will be on hand 


throughout the day to provide historical perspective and greet some of the ‘‘old timers’’ who 


produced these programs. 


During the Miscellany periods, you will be treated to some Pacifica-style frivolity, and to 
excerpts from Free Music Stores and benefit concerts of the past. So join us for those 


thrilling days of yesteryear. . . 


Produced by Larry Josephson, with assistance from Richard Barr, Kathy Dobkin, 
Richard Harris, Steve Post, Lynn Samuels, and Marjorie Waxman. 


7:00 AM AN INTERVIEW WITH EXx- 
FBI AGENT LEVINE 
(Excerpts) 

A documentary on the FBI, focusing on critical 
. Temarks made by ex-Agent Jack Levine. This 
came at a time when the FBI was under criti- 
cism from several ex-agents whose opinions 
became objects of interest to the press. This 
was long before such revelations were com- 
monplace, and despite threats of governmental 
reprisal, Pacifica persisted and presented the 
program. After Pacifica had taken the risk, the 
story that Levine told was carried in newspap- 
ers throughout the country, and several major 
newspapers editorialized about it. J. Edgar 
Hoover allegedly paid us back with the Senate 
Internal Security Subcommittee Hearings on 
Pacifica, which we survived. Hoover, how- 
ever, did not outlive Pacifica. Produced by 
Chris Koch and Dick Elman. (From the 1962

8:00 AM YOU MUST GO HOME AGAIN 
One episode from the series produced by Mar- -

Marcia taped on a concealed recorder at 
the meeting. Both Ms. Tompkins and Mr. 
Robert Shelton—who was, at the time, the 
Imperial Wizard of the KKK—were subse- 
quently subpoenaed as a result of this series.

Bill Schechner talks with Clive Backster, who

And today we bring you samples from our very

(a/k/a THES, TELL 
PROGRAM” chad 
In a five-minute excursion into the present—or 
future—we present the closing portion of this — 
unique program, which was produced by Paul — 
Mclsaac in October, 1973. Appearing on the 
program was an impressive group of scien- 
tists, astronomers, artists, journalists, social 
thinkers, and a guest appearance-via-satellite 
by Jacques Cousteau, from aboard the 
Calypso. The Tange of the discussion was 
equally i impressive—encompassing debate on — 
the impact of science and technology on life, on 
liberty, and on the pursuit of happiness both 
today and tomorrow. The program will be pre- 
sented in its entirety tomorrow, and we close — 
this day with the strange, surreal, and futuristic 
conversation that closed the program on its 
original night of broadcast. (From the Arc- 
hives)

PRAXIS 


““One day, near Tempe, in the Valley of the river Peneius, Eurydice met 
Aristaeus, who tried to force her. She trod on a serpent as she fled, and died of its 
bite; but Orpheus boldly descended into Tartarus, hoping to fetch her back. On his 
arrival, he not only charmed the ferryman Charon, the Dog Cerberus, and the 
three Judges of the Dead with his plaintive music, but temporarily suspended the 
tortures of the damned; and so far soothed the savage heart of Hades that he won 
leave to restore Eurydice to the upper world . . .”’ 


“‘It was on a dreary night of 
November, that I beheld the accom- 
plishment of my toils. With an anxiety 
that almost amounted to agony, I col- 
lect the instruments of life around me, 
that I might infuse a spark of being into 
the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. . . 
I had worked hard for nearly two years, 
for the sole purpose of infusing life into 
an inanimate body. For this I had de- 
prived myself of rest and health. I had 
desired it with an ardor that far ex- 
ceeded moderation; but now that I had 
finished, the beauty of the dream van- 
ished, and breathless horror and disgust 
filled my heart.’” 5 ; 

from M. Shelley’ s Frankenstein 


from Robert Grave’s The Greek Myths 


Whatever therein is promised thou shalt 


reap, 


No title shall remain unpaid. 
But such arrangements time require; 


we’ll speak of them when next we 
meet.” 
Mephistopheles 


‘‘Faust Even hell hath its peculiar 

laws, I see! I’m glad of that! A pact 

may then be made, the which, you gen- 

tlemen, will surely keep?’’ 

from Goethe’ s Faust, part I 
A. Stanwich translation 


“‘Poets and physicians are closely allied in thought. Diagnostics and cure (truth 
and love, in essence) belong to both professions’’ 
from an unpublished letter by Robert Graves 


Poetry and biomedical research are often assumed to be the fruits of naturally 
opposed modes of thought. Yet, the motivations of many physicians and scientists 
and the hopes pinned on their work, clearly derive from the same myths that are the 
source of much poetry. On February 4 and 11, Praxis will be given over to this 
close, and rather unexpected, alliance. Bob Pollack will open the discussion with a 
consideration of the stories of a poet, Orpheus, and two early masters of biomedi- 
cal research, Doctor Faust and Doctor Frankenstein. Listeners are invited to join

cancer, at the State University of New York, at Stony Brook, on Long Island.

Der Ring des Nibelungen 


In the history of multiple births, 
Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des 
Nibelungen is probably the most nota-

WAGNER DAY 


In order to get this year’s Wagner Day off toa 
flying start, producer Manya von Bruja pres- 
ents a two hour discussion of the Philips record- 
ing of the Ring on Sunday, the 15th of Feb- 
ruary at 10:00 pm. After this program we can 
all settle down for a few hours in preparation for 
Monday.

ficient to tell his version of the story 
of Siegfried, the hero of the 
Nibelungenlied. He later decided to 
expand the story by leading up to it with 
Young Siegfried. Backtracking even 
more, he finally got to Die Walkure and 
Das Rheingold. 


The libretto was finally complete in 1852, and in November of 1853 Wagner 


began composing the music for his 


‘‘trilogy with a prologue’ figuring that it 


would be finished in three years. Wrong again. 


There were numerous interruptions including a twelve year period during 
which he stopped work on the Ring altogether. During this time he created 
Tristan and Isolde and Die Meistersinger and finally married Cosima Liszt 
von Biilow, who had previously given him three children. 


Between his wedding day and August of 1876, Wagner completed the Ring and 
built his own theatre to produce it in. On the 13th of August 1876 Das 
Rheingold opened the Festspielhaus and started the first complete production 
of Der Ring des Nibelungen. All four brainchildren are doing well. 


Nineteen seventy-six is the one hun- 
dredth birthday of the Bayreuther 
Festspiele. In honor of this occasion, 
WBAI will present Karl Bohm con- 
ducting the Ring in the recording made 
live at the Festspiele by Philips Rec- 
ords.

That program remembered Chile as it was be- 
fore and after the military coup. Because there — 


wasn’t a Folio at the time, many people missed 
the original broadcast, and so, in response to 
numerous requests, we rebroadcast it now. 

CHILE REMEMBERED features an_in-

would come, they would prescribe, they 
would leave. We were left alone at night 
with no help at hand. It was a terrible time. 
That day, the Mexican Ambassador 
[Gonzalo Martinez Corbala] came to tell 
Pablo that he should go to Mexico. The 
Mexican President had invited him and 
was sending a private plane to take him 
and anything he wanted to bring with him, 
whenever he was ready, to Mexico. Pablo 
said no, he would not leave. *‘I will stay in 
Chile because I could not live anywhere 
else. No one is going to kill me here.”’ 
On the 21st, I received word that our 
house in Santiago had been destroyed and 
that something could happen to Pablo. I 
told him about it, saying: “‘Pablo, I think 
we must leave. Let’s go away for awhile, 
for three or four months; then we can 
come back. But right now, I don’t feel 
safe with you here, because they have 
destroyed our house in Santiago... .” 
He didn’t answer me for a long time, 
about an hour, perhaps two. I sat there, 
reading a book—pretending to—though 
actually, I was trying to figure out what 
we should do. Then he said, ‘‘yes, we'll 
go.’’ We gave the order, and told the 
Ambassador we would leave. I went to 
the island to pick up some clothes, and 
while I was there, many of our friends 
arrived at the hospital. They went into 
_ Pablo’s room and began to tell him so 
_ many things. I had not allowed any of 
his friends to come in so that they 
wouldn’t tell him what was happening in 
Chile. So now, they told him everything: 
_ that this one had been taken, and this had 
happened to that one and well, I don’t 
_ think I have to go into what was happening 
_ in Chile—everyone knows it. What I had 
_ prevented up until the day I left the hospi- 
tal to get his books and things to go to 
_ Mexico, happened. He was almost in a 
_ state of madness by the time | returned to 


the clinic at six o’clock that evening. I 
found him very sick, and they boy who 
had been there with him all afternoon, 


told me that all his friends had come in. 


“*Matilde,’’ Pablo said to me, “‘here you 
have been with me all along, and you had 
not told me anything. They are murdering 
the people. The most atrocious things are 
happening here!’” ‘‘No Pablo’’, I said, 
“everything is being exagerated. Don’t 
believe everything. We must only believe 
half of what we hear. In times like these, 
people always exagerate everything so 
much’’. Well, that night, I was alone with 
Pablo, completely alone. He began to 
speak of our honeymoon, of many things 
which happened so long ago, things in our 
life together, and all of a sudden, I realized 
that Pablo was saying things which were 
not part of his way of being at all; he was 
saying sweet things, speaking gently, say- 
ing very strange things. And suddenly he 
became delirious and all of his delirium 
had to do with the things that were happen- 
ing at that moment, in Chile. I called the 
nurse immediately and asked her what 
sedative she could give him so that Pablo 
could sleep through the night. She gave 
him a sedative so that he would rest for 
awhile, but by then I could not hold him 
down, he would escape my grip and 
scream; he kept repeating ‘““They’re shoot- 
ing them!’ They’re shooting them!’’, he 
shouted. 

The nurse—she must have heard all of 
this—came back and gave him another 
injection, and little by little, he quieted 
down. I kept saying, ‘‘calm down, try to 
sleep’’. He finally fell asleep, and never 
woke up again. 

He slept all that night, and the following 
day was still breathing as he slept; he was 
delirious, but he never recovered con- 
sciousness. Then, on the night of the 23rd, 
at 10:30, he passed from sleep into death. 
He never suffered...
