Additional quotes by Pablo Neruda
ميت هو ذاك الذي يصبح عبدا لعاداته، مكررا نفسه كل يوم. ذاك الذي لا يغيّر ماركة ملابسه ولا طريق ذهابه الى العمل ولا لون نظراته عند المغيب
Love is the mystery of water and a star.
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
Like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.
