In Keeping Quiet, the phrase “victory with no survivors” refers to the destructive consequences of conflict and violence, where no one truly wins. The poet uses this image to highlight how in wars or competitions, the so-called “victory” often leads to harm, suffering, or loss for everyone involved. Neruda suggests that such victories are hollow because they leave no one untouched by the aftermath. The phrase advocates for a world where peace and stillness replace conflict, and true victory lies in unity and harmony, not in the destruction of others.
