To my life you came prepared as a poppy and as a guerrilla fighter: silken is the splendor that I stroke with the hunger and thirst that I brought to this world only for you, and behind the silk the girl of iron who will fight at my side. Love, love, here we are. Silk and metal, come close to my mouth.
— Pablo Neruda, The Captain’s Verses, transl by Donald D. Walsh, (1972)
Love and martyrdom are twins.
— Pablo Neruda, The Captain’s Verses, transl by Donald D. Walsh, (1972)
And here we survive, pure, with the purity that we created, broader than the earth that could not lead us astray, eternal as the fire that will burn as long as life endures.
— Pablo Neruda, The Captain’s Verses, transl by Donald D. Walsh, (1972)
And in the midst of the fire you will be next to me, with your wild eyes.
— Pablo Neruda, The Captain’s Verses, transl by Donald D. Walsh, (1972)
I [...] will find her, within you or far from you, and she will find me, she who will not tremble in the face of love, she who will be fused with me in life or death!
— Pablo Neruda, The Captain’s Verses, transl by Donald D. Walsh, (1972)
And I nailed you to my kisses and I looked at you as never again will human eyes look at you.
— Pablo Neruda, The Captain’s Verses, transl by Donald D. Walsh, (1972)
A dream with its terrible wings was covering you.
— Pablo Neruda, The Captain’s Verses, transl by Donald D. Walsh, (1972)
