Quote

Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance. Don't leave me for a second, my dearest.

More quotes by 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.
Pablo Neruda
Image
The typewriter separated me from a deeper intimacy with poetry, and my hand brought me closer to that intimacy again.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Your wide eyes are the only light I know from extinguished constellations.
Pablo Neruda
Image
And what has become of it, where is that onetime love? Now it is the grave of a bird, a drop of black quartz, a chunk of wood eroded by the rain.
Pablo Neruda
Image
When your hands leap towards mine, love, what do they bring me in flight?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Give me your hand out of the depths sown by your sorrows.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every window.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Poetry is an act of peace.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Whom can I ask what I came to make happen in this world? Why do I move without wanting to, why am I not able to sit still? Why do I go rolling without wheels, flying without wings or feathers, and why did I decide to migrate if my bones live in Chile?
Pablo Neruda
Image
I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Here I came to the very edge where nothing at all needs saying, everything is absorbed through weather and the sea, and the moon swam back, its rays all silvered, and time and again the darkness would be broken by the crash of a wave, and every day on the balcony of the sea, wings open, fire is born, and everything is blue again like morning.
Pablo Neruda

Cómo se acuerda con los pájaros la traducción de sus idiomas?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Sometimes a piece of sun burned like a coin in my hand.
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
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
For now I ask no more Than the justice of eating.
Pablo Neruda
Image
If you no longer live, if you my beloved, my love, if you have died, all the leaves will fall in my breast, it will rain in my soul night and day, the snow will burn my heart, I shall walk with frost and fire and death and snow, my feet will want to walk to where you are sleeping, but I shall live
Pablo Neruda
Image
Love has to be…flowering like the stars, and measureless as a kiss.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Where were you then? Who else was there? Saying what? Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly when I am sad and feel you are far away?
Pablo Neruda
Image
I spin on the circle of wave upon wave of the sea.
