The Mountains |
 |
|
|
The mountains of Chili, the Chili of mountains. The Andes is everywhere,
nearing the coast, approaching the vineyards, protecting the people,
providing nitrates and minerals. The Andes, backbone of Chili, stone and
dust, empty and dry, blossoming meadows at its feet and snow at the top. The
Andes - a sleeping giant of volcanoes, a trembling giant of the earth.
Copper mines. Trucks and dust, clouds of dust. Dirt roads. Copper veins.
Mineral blood, mountain ore. Umbilical cord of the economy, veins of life.
Copper, change and collar. Coin of wealth, harsh happiness.
