They met during a lonely time in Neruda’s life while serving as consul in Java. Complicating matters, she was part Dutch, part Indonesian, so they did not share a language. Neruda married three times, first in 1930 to the attractive Maria Antonieta Haagenaar whom he called Maruca, a bank employee with whom he had little in common. Then there was Albertina who married another of Neruda’s friends and with whom Neruda unsuccessfully attempted to rekindle a relationship as his first marriage was disintegrating. Early on, after some years of learning about love, but mostly lust, he met Laura who married his friend while Neruda was serving as a diplomat in the Far East. Till you will see me again and live in me.Pablo Neruda loved many times in his life, emotions and experiences he poured into his poetry. To feathers, to whatever the night imprisoned To the fall of the ancient leafless rain, Out of sheer taciturnity the ceiling listens I watched the void without you that is like a house, Under my necktie and just above my heart,Ī certain pang of grief between the ribs, Matilde, where are you? Down here I noticed, In this part of the story I am the one whoĭies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,īecause I love you, Love, in fire and blood. Is that I do not see you but love you blindly. I love you only because it's you the one I love īend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you I do not love you except because I love you Oh, bread your forehead, your legs, your mouth,īread I devour, born with the morning light, My love was the coal waiting ready in the earth. The grain grew high in its harvest of you,Īs the dough rose, doubling your breasts, You are made of bread, a bread the fire adores. The strength enfolding your delicate form,Īre not mother of pearl, not chilly silver: The light that rises from your feet to your hair, I don't think anything can be as sensual as this: And as a passionate lover of bread, I was very amused by a particular sonnet that declares a beloved as made of bread. Overall, I bookmarked 15 sonnets in this collection. But you don't always want to stay in one. Sometimes, it feels like it is all happening in a dream. Whilst this collection is divided by different times of the day (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, and Night), I can nearly describe the reading experience as sweet dew that slowly streams down among the blades of grass in the earliest of mornings as the sun takes it time to rise. And for an affair to give birth to a hundred of sonnets is almost enough for love to infect your whole being consumingly and blindly. Neruda wholeheartedly worships and adores his third wife, Matilde, in this collection. But each time a sonnet successfully touches on a certain feeling or a certain memory, with words that seem to fit the only way Neruda limns them, it rollicks through romance and love-making in utmost splendour without forgetting its moments of neediness for reassurance and affirmation. With such limitation it is no wonder the sonnets can be wearisome and repetitive. However the words that convey them can be sparse. Akin to intimacy and body landscapes among Gerard Schlosser’s paintings, Neruda paints love in a spectrum of emotions and shades from devotion to inquisition to desolation, from red to mauve to blue. Assim, seus dois livros mais famosos são Vinte poemas de amor e uma canção desesperada e Canto geral.Īs my fourth Neruda poetry collection, 100 Love Sonnets is undoubtedly lacking compared to Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, The Captain’s Verses, and Full Woman, Fleshly Apple, Hot Moon. mas é mundialmente conhecido por suas poesias de temática amorosa, além de seus poemas de cunho político.
