Famous Quotes from Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda famous quote #347

Love.Because of you in gardens of blossomingFlowers I ache from the perfumes of spring.I have forgotten your face I no longerRemember your hands how did your lipsFeel on mineBecause of you I love the white statuesDrowsing in the parks the white statues thatHave neither voice nor sight.I have forgotten your voice your happy voiceI have forgotten your eyes.Like a flower to its perfume I am bound toMy vague memory of you. I live with painThat is like a wound if you touch me you willMake to me an irreperable harm.Your caresses enfold me like climbingVines on melancholy walls.I have forgotten your love yet I seem toGlimpse you in every window.Because of you the heady perfumes ofSummer pain me because of you I againSeek out the signs that precipitate desiresShooting stars falling objects.

Pablo Neruda famous quote #479

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.
