lire le lapin

This is where I talk about the books I read and where I share them with fellow readers and non-readers alike. “I know some who are constantly drunk on books as other men are drunk on whiskey."

February Journal Challenge - Day 5: A Famous Love Poem

Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

If you think that your reading of adult fiction makes you better than someone who reads YA, you are a pretentious dick mole.

Went thrifting today and the books I bought are already going to good use, as a cat pillow. -_-
