It was my destiny to love and say goodbye.
PABLO NERUDAIt was my destiny to love and say goodbye.
PABLO NERUDASo I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
PABLO NERUDAAll paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are.
PABLO NERUDAA 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.
PABLO NERUDAThe night is shattered, and the blue stars shiver in the distance.
PABLO NERUDATo feel the affection that comes from those whom we do not know, widens out the boundaries of our being, and unites all living things.
PABLO NERUDAWe must dream our way.
PABLO NERUDAHe who does not travel, who does not read, who does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself, she who does not find grace in herself, dies slowly.
PABLO NERUDAThe birds of night peck at the first stars that flash like my soul when I love you.
PABLO NERUDALove is a war of lightning, and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness.
PABLO NERUDATake bread away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter.
PABLO NERUDAPoetry 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 NERUDAIn the eyes of mourning the land of dreams begins.”
PABLO NERUDAFor me writing is like breathing. I could not live without breathing and I could not live without writing.
PABLO NERUDADeath is the stone into which our oblivion hardens.
PABLO NERUDAMy soul is an empty carousel at sunset.
