Excellently worded and metaphored poem, thought-provokingly edited. CONGRATULATIONS on being chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day. Hooray! 5 stars. Thanks for sharing. Pablo does sound poetic but only for men, methinks.

SEXUALLY EXCELLENT COVERED MANY ASPECTS OF VISUAL SEXUALITY A LOVER ROMANTIC POET WAS HE AND SO SPOKE OPENLY..THIS...And the hours after lunch, when the students and priests are masturbating, And the animals mount each other openly, AND And cousins play strange games with cousins, And doctors glower at the husband of the young patient, BY PABLO NERUDA

A shockingly poor translation that eviscerates Neruda's stunning poem. What a shame and a tragedy.
