There is no space wider than that of grief.
PABLO NERUDAThere is no space wider than that of grief.
PABLO NERUDAI want to do to you what spring does with the cherry trees.
PABLO NERUDAI crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
PABLO NERUDAOur love was born outside the walls, in the wind, in the night, in the earth, and that’s why the clay and the flower, the mud and the roots know your name.
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 NERUDAAll paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are.
PABLO NERUDALove has to be flowering like the stars, and measureless as a kiss.
PABLO NERUDAIn the house of poetry nothing endures that is not written with blood to be heard with blood.
PABLO NERUDAEverything is so alive, that I can be alive. Without moving I can see it all. In your life I see everything that lives.
PABLO NERUDAI 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 NERUDAI can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
PABLO NERUDAI love you only because it’s you the one I love; I hate you deeply, and hating you Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.
PABLO NERUDALove, how many roads to obtain a kiss.
PABLO NERUDALike them you are tall and taciturn, and you are sad, all at once, like a voyage.
PABLO NERUDAIn one kiss, you’ll know all I haven’t said.
PABLO NERUDAAbsence is a house so vast that inside you will pass through its walls and hang pictures on the air.
PABLO NERUDA
