Pablo Neruda

July 12, 1904 / Parral, Chile - September 23, 1973 / Santiago, Chile

The Song Of Despair

You swallowed everything, like distance.
Like the sea, like time.
In you everything sank!
It was the happy hour of assault and the kiss.
The hour of the spell that blazed like a lighthouse.
Pilot's dread, fury of a blind diver,
turbulent drunkenness of love,
in you everything sank!
