 To Neruda, the whole of South America constitutes a huge neighborhood of oranges which grows best in what has been called the Mediterranean type of climate, with prevailing westerly winds and slight rainfall in winter.  He compares the orange to a segmented sun with skins of fire. It is both sweet and sour. pure and mysterious at the at the same time. He hopes that the orange may become an electrying symbol for unity of the world which links different countries through its common cultivation. To him, the orange is predominantly a source of light!
