“I built up these lumber piles of love, and with fourteen boards each I built little houses, so that your eyes, which I adore and sing to, might live in them. Now that I have declared the foundations of my love, I surrender this century to you: wooden sonnets that rise only because you gave them life.”

“And yet, because I love thee, I obtain
From that same love this vindicating grace,
To live on still in love, and yet in vain”

“Here I love you.
Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
I love you still among these cold things.
Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
that cross the sea towards no arrival.
I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.”
― The Poetry of Pablo Neruda

“Some things you know all your life. They are so simple and true they must be said without elegance, meter and rhyme...they must be naked and alone, they must stand for themselves.”

Yet love me--wilt thou? Open thine heart wide,
And fold within, the wet wings of thy dove.”
― Sonnets from the Portuguese
