“And I, tiny being,
drunk with the great starry
void,
likeness, image of
mystery,
felt myself a pure part
of the abyss.”
― Pablo Neruda

“I know, I know, but here beside the water
while the locusts chitter and sparkle,
although they are waiting, I want to wait for myself.
I too want to watch myself.
I want to discover at last my own feelings.
And when I reach the place where I am waiting,
I expect to fall asleep, dying of laughter.”
― Pablo Neruda, Windows That Open Inward: Images of Chile

“I will die kissing your mad cold mouth,
embracing the lost bouquet of your body,
and searching for the light of your closed eyes”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“Love brought its tail of pains,
its long static beam of thorns,
and we close our eyes so that nothing,
so that no wound will separate us.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets
