If we were not so single-mind...

If we were not so single-minded about keeping our lives moving and for once could do nothing, perhaps a huge silence might interrupt this sadness of never understanding ourselves and of threatening ourselves with death Perhaps the world can teach us as when everything seems dead but later proves to be alive.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

Shyness is a condition foreig...

Shyness is a condition foreign to the heart - a category, a dimension which leads to loneliness.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

I like on the table, when we're speaking, the light of a bottle of intelligent wine.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

And I, a materialist who does...

And I, a materialist who does not believe in the starry heaven promised to a human being, for this dog and for every dog I believe in heaven, yes, I believe in a heaven that I will never enter, but he waits for me wagging his big fan of a tail so I, soon to arrive, will feel welcomed.

I want to do for you what the spring does for the cherry trees

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

On our earth, before writing ...

On our earth, before writing was invented, before the printing press was invented, poetry flourished. That is why we know that poetry is like bread; it should be shared by all, by scholars and by peasants, by all our vast, incredible, extraordinary family of humanity.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

Eating alone is a disappointm...

Eating alone is a disappointment. But not eating matter more, is hollow and green, has thorns like a chain of fish hooks, trailing from the heart, clawing at your insides. Hunger feels like pincers, like the bite of crabs; it burns, burns, and has no fur. Let us sit down soon to eat with all those who haven't eaten; let us spread great tablecloths, put salt in lakes of the world, set up planetary bakeries, tables with strawberries in snow, and a plate like the moon itself from which we can all eat. For now I ask no more than the justice of eating.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

Who hasn't sharpened the edge...

Who hasn't sharpened the edge of his soul? When, just as our eyes are opened, we see hate, and just after learning to walk, we are tripped, and just for wanting to love, we are hated, and for no more than touching, we are hurt, which of us hasn't started to arm himself, to make himself sharp, somehow, like a knife, to pay back the hurt?

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

From sorrow to sorrow love cr...

From sorrow to sorrow love crosses its islands and establishes roots that are watered by weeping.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

Writing poetry, we live among...

Writing poetry, we live among the wild beasts, and when we touch a man, the stuff of someone in whom we believed, and he goes to pieces like a rotten pie, you... gather together whatever can be salvaged, while I cup my hands around the live coal of life.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

Who do I belong to? How come ...

Who do I belong to? How come I mortgaged my being till I don't belong to myself? How come I sold my blood? And who now owns my indecisions, my hands, my private pain, my pride?

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

To harden the earth the rocks...

To harden the earth the rocks took charge: instantly they grew wings: the rocks that soared: the survivors flew up the lightning bolt, screamed in the night, a watermark, a violet sword, a meteor. The succulent sky had not only clouds, not only space smelling of oxygen, but an earthly stone flashing here and there changed into a dove, changed into a bell, into immensity, into a piercing wind: into a phosphorescent arrow, into salt of the sky.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

I had no more alphabet than the journeying of the swallows, the pure and tiny water of the small, fiery bird that dances rising from the pollen.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

And our problems will crumble...

And our problems will crumble apart, the soul / blow through like a wind, and here where we live will all be clean again, with fresh bread on the table.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

What can I say without touchi...

What can I say without touching the earth with my hands?

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

Joyful, joyful, joyful, as on...

Joyful, joyful, joyful, as only dogs know how to be happy with only the autonomy of their shameless spirit.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

The darkness of a day elapsed...

The darkness of a day elapsed, of a day nourished with our sad blood.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

Then Scale by scale, We strip...

Then Scale by scale, We strip off The delicacy And eat The peaceful mush Of its green heart.

Pablo Neruda 289 quotes

Where were you then? Who else...

Where were you then? Who else was there? Saying what? Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly when I am sad and feel you are far away?

I want to do with you what the spring does with the cherry trees.
