I want to see thirstIn the syllables,Tough fireIn the sound;... - Pablo Neruda

"I don't want to go on being a root in the dark,vacillating, stretched out, shivering with sleep,downward, in the soaked guts of the earth,absorbing and thinking, eating each day."

"As if you were on fire from within.The moon lives in the lining of your skin."

"I love all things, not only the grand but the infinitely small: thimble, spurs, plates, flower vases....."

"I want to see thirstIn the syllables,Tough fireIn the sound;Feel through the darkFor the scream."

"I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests."
