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.

Image
I have never thought of my life as divided between poetry and politics.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I walked around as you do, investigating the endless star, and in my net, during the night, I woke up naked, the only thing caught, a fish trapped inside the wind.
Pablo Neruda
Image
And I watch my words from a long way off. They are more yours than mine. They climb on my old suffering like ivy.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Day-colored wine, night-colored wine, wine with purple feet or wine with topaz blood, wine, starry child of earth.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Am I allowed to ask my book / whether it's true I wrote it?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Hour of nostalgia, hour of happiness, hour of solitude.
Pablo Neruda
Image
From sorrow to sorrow love crosses its islands and establishes roots that are watered by weeping.
Pablo Neruda
Image
When did the lemons learn the same creed as the sun?
Pablo Neruda
Image
But when I call for a hero, out comes my lazy old self so I never know who I am, nor how many I am or will be. I'd love to be able to touch a bell and summon the real me, because if I really need myself, I mustn't disappear.
Pablo Neruda
Image
O merry, merry, merry, like only dogs know how to be happy and nothing more, with an absolute shameless nature.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I got lost in the night, without the light of your eyelids, and when the night surrounded me I was born again: I was the owner of my own darkness.
Pablo Neruda
Image
The road made wet by the water of August shines like it was cut in full moonlight
Pablo Neruda
Image
Pale blind diver, luckless slinger, lost discoverer, in you everything sank!
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
Let us look for secret things somewhere in the world on the blue shore of silence or where the storm has passed rampaging like a train. There the faint signs are left, coins of time and water, debris ,celestial ash and the irreplaceable rapture of sharing in the labour of soitude in the sand.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Laughter is the language of the soul.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I do not love you-except because I love you I go from loving to not loving you, from waiting to not waiting for you my heart moves from the cold into the fire.
Pablo Neruda
Image
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.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I stood on the balcony dark with mourning... hoping the earth would spread its wings in my uninhabited love.
Pablo Neruda
Image
If suddenly you do not exist, If suddenly you are not living, I shall go on living. I do not dare, I do not dare to write it, if you die. I shall go on living.
Pablo Neruda
