02UndatedDo tears not yet spilledwait in small lakes?Or are they invisible riversthat run toward sadness?Pablo Neruda / quote ↗
04UndatedGirl lithe and tawny, the sun that formsthe fruits, that plumps the grains, that curls seaweedsfilled your body with joy, and your luminous eyesand your mouth that has the smile of the water.A black yearning sun is braided into the strandsof your black mane, when you stretch your arms.You play with the sun as with a little brookand it leaves two dark pools in your eyes.Pablo Neruda / quote ↗
07UndatedAnd so this letter endswith no sadness:my feet are firm upon the earth,my hand writes this letter on the road,and in the midst of life I shall bealwaysbeside the friend, facing the enemy,with your name on my mouthand a kiss that neverbroke away from yours.Pablo Neruda / quote ↗
09UndatedSonnet LXXXI And now you're mine. Rest with your dream in my dream. Love and pain and work should all sleep, now. The night turns on its invisible wheels, and you are pure beside me as a sleeping ember. No one else, Love, will sleep in my dreams. You will go, we will go together, over the waters of time. No one else will travel through the shadows with me, only you, evergreen, ever sun, ever moon. Your hands have already opened their delicate fists and let their soft drifting signs drop away; your eyes closed like two gray wings, and I move after, following the folding water you carry, that carries me away. The night, the world, the wind spin out their destiny. Without you, I am your dream, only that, and that is all.Pablo Neruda / quote ↗
10UndatedIt is the hour of departure, the hard cold hour which the night fastens to all timetables.Pablo Neruda / quote ↗

16UndatedChild who does not play is not a child, but the man who does not play has lost forever the child who lived within him and who he will miss terriblyPablo Neruda / quote ↗
17UndatedI love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or youPablo Neruda / quote ↗
18UndatedHere 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 / quote ↗
19UndatedI had no more alphabetthan the journeying of the swallows,the pure and tiny waterof the small, fiery birdthat dances rising from the pollen.Pablo Neruda / quote ↗
20UndatedYou came to my lifewith what you were bringing,madeof light and bread and shadow I expected you,and Like this I need you,Like this I love you,and to those who want to hear tomorrowthat which I will not tell them, let them read it here,and let them back off today because it is earlyfor these arguments.Pablo Neruda / quote ↗
21UndatedSo close that your hand upon my chest is mine,so close that your eyes close with my sleep.Pablo Neruda / quote ↗
24UndatedThe 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 / quote ↗
