Neruda can evoke such strong emotions and imagery. The format of this book - English on one side, Spanish on the other - is great for those who know both languages.
The first half was a slog to get through, but I enjoyed the second half much better. With that said, this is my first foray into poetry in a long time, and I can't say that it has converted me. Maybe romantic poetry is just not the genre for me.
Really overrated. Hate the objectification of his lover. Uninspired wordplay. Please stop saying breasts @men !!!!!

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.
