Poetry Quote by Pablo Neruda — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Green was the silence, wet was the light,”

“I don't want to go on being a root in the dark,”

“I love you as the plant that never blooms”

“I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.”

“I want you to know”

““If You Forget Me”

“Take this kiss upon the brow!”

“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,”

“I suppose I'm saying that defiance is actually part of the lyric job”

“Being human means throwing your whole life on the scales of destiny when need be, all the while rejoicing in every sunny day and every beautiful cloud.”

“But first and foremost, I learned from Whitman that the poem is a temple—or a green field—a place to enter, and in which to feel. Only in a secondary way is it an intellectual thing—an artifact, a moment of seemly and robust wordiness—wonderful as that part of it is. I learned that the poem was made not just to exist, but to speak—to be company.”

“Art is long, and Time is fleeting.”
