| Summary |
First published in 1924, Veinte Poemas de Amor y una Cancion Desesperada remains among Neruda's most popular work. Daringly metaphorical, these poems are based upon his own private associations. Their sensuous use of nature symbolism to celebrate love and to express grief has not been surpassed in the literature of our century. This edition offers the original Spanish text, with masterly translations by W.S. Merwin of facing pages. |
| Contents |
Body of a woman -- Light wraps you -- Ah vastness of pines -- Morning is full -- So that you will hear me -- I remember you as you were -- Leaning into the afternoons -- White bee -- Drunk with pines -- We have lost even -- Almost out of the sky -- Your breast is enough -- I have gone marking -- Every day you play -- I like for you to be still -- In my sky at twilight -- Thinking, tangling shadows -- Here I love you -- Girl lithe and tawny -- Tonight I can write -- Song of despair. |
