They are more yours than mine.
They climb on my old suffering like ivy.”

Beautiful prose. My favorite piece has to be the following line: "You are like my soul, a butterfly of dream, and you are like the word Melancholy", which really resonates with me, being an INFP 4w5. That quote will be my Whatsapp info for a little while 😅 Glad I decided to finish this.

This book was given to me as a gift many years ago. It remains one of my favorite all-time reads and a source of much enjoyment. The book is exactly what it says it is, and is only about 100 pages, even in the dual-language edition.

I might reread this in spanish later. I am very bored of poems about sunlight and purity.

No le pongo más nota por dos razones:
1- No quiero que Goodreads me recomiende poemarios, ya que si he leído este ha sido a modo de excepción.
2- No creo tener el conocimiento suficiente como para juzgarlo correctamente ni entender cada detalle que puede albergar.
Aún así, es cierto que tiene poemas preciosos, mezclados con otros que no me han removido demasiado.
Para una revisión de aquí a unos meses/años con un análisis profundo al lado.

After years of watching Spanish romance movies and telenovelas, anytime someone did anything romantic they were asked "who are you Pablo Neruda?" And so of course I had to read his stuff. So I was expecting cute 'sweep me off my feet' romantic poetry... This man in anything BUT subtle. It's flowery and beautifully written and its mostly about sex lmao. And it felt pretty misogynistic and racist. The woman - I say this but he doesn't seem to be writing to anyone in specific but moreso to women in general yet is always referring to one woman - is always told to have white skin and the whiteness of it is what he emphasizes as beautiful. And when the general woman isn't described as white she's spoken of as land that needs conquering. I don't know how much more of a white man he can get.
cinco estrellas única y exclusivamente por el poema 20 me voy a tirar por un barranco
