Quote

Like a jar you housed the infinite tenderness, and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar.

Image
I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I have slept with you all night long while the dark earth spins with the living and the dead, and on waking suddenly in the midst of the shadow my arm encircled your waist. Neither night nor sleep could separate us.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Nobody can claim the name of Pedro, nobody is Rosa or María, all of us are dust or sand, all of us are rain under rain. They have spoken to me of Venezuelas, of Chiles and Paraguays I have no idea what they are saying. I know only the skin of the earth and I know it has no name.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Shyness is a condition foreign to the heart - a category, a dimension which leads to loneliness.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I want to do to you what spring does with the cherry trees.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Do tears not yet spilled wait in small lakes?
Pablo Neruda
Image
O happy childhood! blessed youth! But once we know thy potent power But once we live all careless free No cross to mar our love-lit bower.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Political poetry is more profoundly emotional than any other-at least as much as love poetry-and cannot be forced because then it becomes vulgar and unacceptable. It is necessary first to pan though all other poetry in order to become a political poet.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body... and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight, hunting for you, for your hot heart, like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.
Pablo Neruda
Image
In love, you have loosened yourself like seawater
Pablo Neruda
Image
I stroll along serenely, with my eyes, my shoes, my rage, forgetting everything.
Pablo Neruda
Image
There were thirst and hunger, and you were the fruit. There were grief and the ruins, and you were the miracle.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Who do I belong to? How come I mortgaged my being till I don't belong to myself? How come I sold my blood? And who now owns my indecisions, my hands, my private pain, my pride?
Pablo Neruda
Image
In your eyes of mourning the land of dreams begins.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I learned about life from life itself, love I learned in a single kiss and could teach no one anything except that I have lived with something in common among men.
Pablo Neruda
Image
my feet will want to walk to where you are sleeping but I shall go on living.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Then Scale by scale, We strip off The delicacy And eat The peaceful mush Of its green heart.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Poetry arrived in search of me. I don't know, I don't know where it came from, from winter or a river. I don't know how or when.
Pablo Neruda
Image
You can crush the flowers, but you can't stop the spring.
Pablo Neruda
Image
A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who doesn't play has lost forever the child who lived in him and who he will miss terribly.
