Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair

"It was at that agethat poetry came in search of me."

"Tonight I can write the saddest linesI loved her, and sometimes she loved me too."

"I am no longer in love with her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long."

"I am no longer in love with her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long."

"I wantTo do with you what spring does with the cherry trees."

"Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero.Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido."
