A Song of Despair

A Song of Despair

You swallowed everything, like distance.
Pale blind diver, luckless slinger,
You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,
turbulent drunkenness of love, in you everything sank!
what sorrow did you not express, in what sorrow are you not drowned!
and there, woman of love, your arms took me in.
Oh the bitten mouth, oh the kissed limbs,
I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you.
Pilots dread, fury of blind driver,
oh the hungering teeth, oh the entwined https://read.99csw•combodies.
and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar.
Oh the mad coupling of hope and force
Only tremulous shadow twists in my hands.
beyond desire and act, I walked on.
And the tenderness, light as water and as flour.
It was the happy hour of assault and the kiss.
Oh pit of debris, fierce cave of the shipwrecked.
Deserted like the wharves at dawn.
Standing like a sailor in the prow of a vessel.
Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman who九九藏書m I loved and lost,
Cold flower heads are raining over my heart.
Like a jar you housed infinite tenderness.
in the earth of your soul, in the cross of your arms!
From you the wings of the song birds rose.
Cemetery of kisses, there is still fire in your tombs,
It is the hour of departure, the hard cold hour
It is the hour of departure, oh deserted one!
A Song of Despair
There was thirst and hunger, and you were the fruit.
From billow to billow yohttps://read.99csw•comu still called and sang.
which the night fastens to all the timetables.
In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded.
sadness stunned you, in you everything sank!
The hour of the spell that blazed like a lighthouse.
The rustling belt of the sea girdles the shore.
in which we merged and despaired.
It is the hour of departure. Oh abandoned one!
This was my destiny and in it was my voyage of my longing,
Cold stars heave up, black birds migrate.
The riv九-九-藏-書er mingles its stubborn lament with the sea.
Ah woman, I do not know how you could contain me
and in it my longing fell, in you everything sank!
Lost discoverer, in you everything sank!
And the word scarcely begun on the lips.
The memory of you emerges from the night around me.
Oh farther than everything. Oh farther than everything.
still the fruited boughs burn, pecked at by birds.
Oh pit of debris, everything fell into you,
In you the wars and the flights accumulated.
l九九藏書ost discoverer, in you everything sank!
How terrible and brief my desire was to you!
Oh pit of debris, open and bitter well.
You still flowered in songs, you still brike the currents.
Pablo Neruda
Like the sea, like time. In you everything sank!
There was the black solitude of the islands,
I made the wall of shadow draw back,
How difficult and drunken, how tensed and avid.
Deserted like the dwarves at dawn.
There were grief and ruins, and you were the miracle.
