One Hundred Love Sonnets:XVII
BY PABLO NERUDA TRANSLATED BY MARK EISNER. I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz, or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: I love you as one loves certain obscure things, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom but carries the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself, and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose from the earth lives dimly in my body.I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you directly without problems or pride: I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love, except in this form in which I am not nor are you, so close that your hand upon my chest is mine, so close that your eyes close with my dreams. BY PABLO NERUDA "As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision." ~Helen Keller (via Roxana Jones
Again and Again
Again and again, however we know the landscape of love and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names, and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others fall: again and again the two of us walk out together under the ancient trees, lie down again and again among the flowers, face to face with the sky. - Rainer Maria Rilke |
“I am the most curious of all to see what will be the next thing that I will do.”
