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

“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!”

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

“Si todos los rios son dulces”

“Tonight I can write the saddest lines.”

“I have hunger for your mouth, for your voice, for your hair”

““If You Forget Me”

“When you write about what you dream, you become a writer.”

“In this world things are beautiful only because they are not quite seen, or not perfectly understood. Poetry is precious chiefly because it suggests more than it declares.”

“Sweet hour, blessed hour, to carry me to you, and to bring you back to me, long enough to snatch one kiss, and whisper goodbye again.”

“Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art—”

“The most beautiful part of your body”

“April is the cruelest month, breeding”
