The great man shines. And oh so, so brightly. What more is there to say except thank you Pablo. And sleep well good sir. Sleep well.

Excellent poem with lovely images. Nothing draws me to you.....I wish I could understand Pablo’s thought behind it. Or is it a typo.

What can I write, words fail me when I read.. You are the delirious youth of bee, The drunkedness of the wave, the power of the wheat. So powerful metaphors

Wow! Neruda, the God love, God of all Gods! Brown and agile child, the sun which forms the fruit And ripens the grain and twists the seaweed Has made your happy body and your luminous eyes And given your mouth the smile of water. The smile of water! ! !

A perfect poem to quote for the blessing at my niece's wedding. I still remember it from Jackson Brown's record long ago...
