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 NerudaNobody can claim the name of Pedro, nobody is Rosa or Marรญa, all of us are dust or sand, all of us are rain under rain. They have spoken to me of Venezuelas, of Chiles and Paraguays; I have no idea what they are saying. I know only the skin of the earth and I know it has no name.
Pablo NerudaAbsence is a house so vast that inside you will pass through its walls and hang pictures on the air.
