XIV./My words rained over you, stroking you./A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body./I go so far as to think that you own the universe./I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells, dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses./I want/to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.
Pablo Neruda: Nobel Prize-Winning Poet
This wonderful book, Pablo Neruda: Nobel Prize-Winning Poet by David Goodnough, is one of the 13 books I bought from Better World Books as part of my “2014 Annual Book Binge.”
I hadn't plan to read it so soon and certainly not in one sitting, but I did just that today. My cat, Trio, had decided to take a super long evening nap on my lap and eventually my laptop died on me (the battery ran out of juice), so I was immobilized with a black screen and a fur-ball on my lap. I took a look around me, locked my eyes on the pile of Pablo Neruda books just by my side and picked this one out.
