Quote

Then Scale by scale, We strip off The delicacy And eat The peaceful mush Of its green heart.

More quotes by Pablo Neruda

Image
I love you between shadow and soul. I love you as the plant that hasn't bloomed yet, and carries hidden within itself the light of flowers. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. Because of you, the dense fragrance that rises from the earth lives in my body, rioting with hunger for the eternity of our victorious kisses.
Pablo Neruda
Image
It was at that age that poetry came in search of me.
Pablo Neruda
Image
And our problems will crumble apart, the soul / blow through like a wind, and here where we live will all be clean again, with fresh bread on the table.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Someone will ask later, sometimes searching for a name, his own or someone's else's why I neglected his sadness or his love... But I didn't have enough time or ink for everyone. Or maybe it was the strain of the city, of time the cold heart of the clocks.
Pablo Neruda
Image
In love, you have loosened yourself like seawater
Pablo Neruda
Image
Look around—there's only one thing of danger for you here—poetry.
Pablo Neruda
Image
For now I ask no more Than the justice of eating.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Love has to be…flowering like the stars, and measureless as a kiss.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Love is a war of lightning, and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness. Kiss by kiss I cover your tiny infinity, your margins, your rivers, your diminutive villages, and a genital fire, transformed by delight, slips through the narrow channels of blood to precipitate a nocturnal carnation, to be, and be nothing but light in the dark.
Pablo Neruda
Image
When everything seems to be set to show me off as intelligent, the fool I always keep hidden takes over all that I say.
Pablo Neruda
Image
What did the earth teach the trees? How to speak to the sky.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Hour of nostalgia, hour of happiness, hour of solitude.
Pablo Neruda
Image
It was my destiny to love and say goodbye.
Pablo Neruda
Image
With which stars do they go on speaking,the rivers that never reach the sea?
Pablo Neruda
Image
I have never thought of my life as divided between poetry and politics.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Do tears not yet spilled wait in small lakes?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Tell me, is the rose naked or is that her only dress? Why do trees conceal the splendor of their roots? Who hears the regrets of the thieving automobile? Is there anything in the world sadder than a train standing in the rain?
Pablo Neruda
Image
What will they say about my poetry who never touched my blood?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Donde termina el arco iris, en tu alma o en el horizonte? Where does the rainbow end, in your soul or on the horizon?
Pablo Neruda
Image
On our earth, before writing was invented, before the printing press was invented, poetry flourished. That is why we know that poetry is like bread it should be shared by all, by scholars and by peasants, by all our vast, incredible, extraordinary family of humanity.
