You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Pablo NerudaShyness is a condition foreign to the heart - a category, a dimension which leads to loneliness.
Pablo NerudaI stood on the balcony dark with mourning... hoping the earth would spread its wings in my uninhabited love.
Pablo NerudaSufre mas el que espera siempre que aquel que nunca espero a nadie? Does he who is always waiting suffer more than he whoโs never waited for anyone?
Pablo NerudaI love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrence risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. and: No one can stop the river of your hands, your eyes and their sleepiness, my dearest. You are the trembling of time, which passes between the vertical light and the darkening sky. and: From the stormy archipelagoes I brought my windy accordian, waves of crazy rain, the habitual slowness of natural things: they made up my wild heart.
