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.”
― Pablo Neruda, The Poetry of Pablo Neruda

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