I have named you queen. There are taller than you, taller. There are purer than you, purer. There are lovelier than you, lovelier. But you are the queen.
Pablo Neruda
Image
sometimes i get up at dawn, and even my soul is wet.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Wakening from the dreaming forest there, the hazel-sprig sang under my tongue, its drifting fragrance climbed up through my conscious mind as if suddenly the roots I had left behind cried out to me, the land I had lost with my childhood - and I stopped, wounded by the wandering scent.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Every day you play with the light of the universe.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Once more I am the silent one who came out of the distance wrapped in cold rain and bells: I owe to earth's pure death the will to sprout.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Is 4 the same 4 for everybody? Are all sevens equal? When the convict ponders the light is it the same light that shines on you?
Pablo Neruda
Image
Give me your hand out of the depths sown by your sorrows.
Pablo Neruda
Image
From sorrow to sorrow love crosses its islands and establishes roots that are watered by weeping.
Pablo Neruda
Image
The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.
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
Then Scale by scale, We strip off The delicacy And eat The peaceful mush Of its green heart.
Pablo Neruda
Image
As slippery as smooth grapes, words exploding in the light like dormant seeds waiting in the vaults of vocabulary, alive again, and giving life: once again the heart distills them.
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
I believed that the way passed through Man, and that it was from there that destiny had to emerge.
Pablo Neruda
Image
so I wait for you like a lonely house till you will see me again and live in me. Till then my windows ache.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Look around—there's only one thing of danger for you here—poetry.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Two things make a story. The net and the air that falls through the net.
Pablo Neruda
Image
I am a book of snow, a spacious hand, an open meadow, a circle that waits, I belong to the earth and its winter.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Sometimes a piece of sun burned like a coin in my hand.
