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

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

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

“I stalk certain words... I catch them in mid-flight, as they buzz past, I trap them, clean them, peel them, I set myself in front of the dish, they have a crystalline texture to me, vibrant, ivory, vegetable, oily, like fruit, like algae, like agates, like olives... I stir them, I shake them, I drink them, I gulp them down, I mash them, I garnish them... I leave them in my poem like stalactites, like slivers of polished wood, like coals, like pickings from a shipwreck, gifts from the waves... Everything exists in the word.”

“I love you as the plant that never blooms”

“Si todos los rios son dulces”

“Then I speak to her in a language she has never heard, I speak to her in Spanish, in the tongue of the long, crepuscular verses of Díaz Casanueva; in that language in which Joaquín Edwards preaches nationalism. My discourse is profound; I speak with eloquence and seduction; my words, more than from me, issue from the warm nights, from the many solitary nights on the Red Sea, and when the tiny dancer puts her arm around my neck, I understand that she understands. Magnificent language!”

“She's an old soul with young eyes, a vintage heart, and a beautiful mind.”

“To see the Summer Sky”

“February. Get ink, shed tears.”

“In a serener Bright,”

“Hearts rebuilt from hope resurrect dreams killed by hate.”

“it's so easy to be a poet”
